I think Pix got close to $150 from Amazon for that, I got $6.82.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

The status is NOT quo.
Yeah, I buy stupid amounts of Kindle books. I figure if I have the money and can support the authors, why not? This was a pretty fantastic payback, though.

Yeh, I got something like $35 from Amazon. Though it was of course emailed to me about three hours after I'd spent a ton of money. But I know I'll just spend it anyway, so....
I had Puerto Rican food tonight--tostones! Yum! AND I went to Macy's and though they didn't have the pair of jeans that ripped, they did find them at another store so I'm going to get them tomorrow! Yay.

$3 from Amazon. That'll come in handy.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I got $5.86 from Amazon and an email fom B&N saying they'd let me know what the credit would be. As I buy more ebooks from Amazon, I doubt B&N will be higher. But hey, I have several books on my wishlist that $5.86 would cover.

I buy a ton on the kindle but most of that is past the date range for this.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm pretty sure I haven't spent $5 on ebooks ever, so no settlement for me! What's the story?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Yeah, I don't like ebooks for leisure reading, so pretty much the only ones I've bought have been textbooks that were a whole lot cheaper in that form, so no money for me.

How's this for a cheery corporate policy:
The managers are under intense pressure to adhere to the distribution that requires 40% of employees to be rated below expectations.
Seriously. Official corporate line.
Fuck off and die.
