Cash from Amazon

Post by seeahill »

If you bought a book from Amazon Kindle btwn April 1, 2010 and May 21, 2012, you may have money in your Amazon acct. $89.41 for me. They didn't send me an email about it. It has to do with a price fixing law suit. If you have Amazon bookmarked, you can click the link in the story to see your cash. Or not, as the case may be.

There were 5 publishers who were charged with fixing prices. If you didn't buy books published by those publishing houses, you get nada. For instance, Nasty Lesbians Publishing was not included.

she reads only fiction.

Everything I write is a lie, including this sentence.

i believe there is a paradoxical (or is it contradictory?) train of logic that your sentence sets loose, but it is like algebra, and i can't follow it

what is your favorite of your books?

Probably "Hold the Enlightenment," a series of unconnected offbeat travel type articles about remote destinations all over the world. "Jaguars Ripped my Flesh" the first of these type books has stuff I did 35 years ago. Nat Geo ranked it within the best 100 adventure travel books ever written. I like "Enlightenment" because an older guy wrote it and spent several long agonizing minutes trying to figure out what it all means.

i've recently read a little paul tillich for the first time ever and some walker percy, so anything that hints at the meaning of things could fit the bill

You'll be disappointed. It's me --- not some celebrated thinker --- wondering what it means, while, say, being arrested in Turkey or Ecuador going where the authorities felt I shouldn't go. Didn't mean to give the wrong impression. It's not deep at all. For sure, not Paul Tillich.

I got Pass the Butterworm on my Kindle, still haven't read it a couple of years later. Maybe one day, when I'm feeling masochistic.

Me too. I mostly read the "classics" (free ;) ) or stuff friends give me to read (reading the Conn Iggulden Genghis series now). I'm not sure what ebook I actually bought from B&N.

I got an email today from Apple about the same settlement. In typical Apple fashion, they have made it complicated, and not given an amount of money, but a link to find out how much money.
