The office of state Attorney General Herbert Slatery said some Tennesseans who have purchased electronic books could soon be getting credits or checks as a result of a price-fixing case against Apple.
The money and credit paid back to consumers was a result of Tennessee joining 33 states to investigate and prosecute Apple for a conspiracy to artificially inflate e-book prices. Apple is obligated to pay $400 million to consumers nationwide as a result of the case.
Online e-book retailers such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble have already emailed customers telling them they have new credits in their accounts.
The amount consumers got was determined by their e-books purchased between April 2010 and May 21, 2012.
