I caught this on facebook, and then went and checked it out. It is a true thing. Yet another antitrust settlement with ebooks went the way of the reader (I believe places were making deals to jack up prices of ebooks, so we overpaid back then). I have gotten a bit of credit in 2014 on something like this, but only like 20 bucks. This time I got myself over 150 in book credit. I will be buying books for awhile on that money!!!! Or more likely using it for stuff we need, but whatever! lol
For more information on the 2016 Apple eBooks Antitrust Settlement, be logged in to your amazon then check this link:

This is great news. I haven't bought any so I probably won't have any credits. Great for those who did though. Thanks for sharing this.

@Jessicalynnt ....Yes, I doubt I had even heard of them yet. Still haven't gotten one. Am thinking I could see a lot better and be able to read a bit if I did have one. So many to chose from. I see the price has sure gone down.

@celticeagle you can also change the font size, large print books can be hard to find and pricey

@Jessicalynnt they look like flowers at different degrees of opening - very odd but quite effective

My mother told me about this, but I read the article until yesterday morning. I wouldn't have any credits because I didn't get any ebooks back then.

That may benefit writers as well as readers. Hey, I can only hope someone takes advantage of it and buys a book. LOL

It looks like people only have until the 24th of this month to retrieve said credits. I don't have any. I use amazon, but am a kindle unlimited member, and never pay more than $10.00 for a book.
