Amazon, Repent Thy Sins of the Digital Flesh!

"Owners of Amazon.com's Kindle e-readers will receive refunds on past e-book purchases and see e-book prices drop if a judge approves legal settlements with publishers accused of fixing prices, according to the Internet retailer.
Amazon told Kindle owners in emails on Saturday that they could receive a refund of between 30 cents and $1.32 for e-books they bought between April 2010 and May 2012. The books must have been published by three publishers who have agreed to settle a lawsuit that accused them of inflating e-book prices."
Look at who's fancy now, Mr. Download Book Thingie.  All up on your high digital horse, selling them ebooks and stuff.  Maybe now we can all get back to our lives, churning butter and whatnot now that the Man has been informed he can not just do what he pleases and go forth and plunder the gentle reader.  We can only hope these people learn from this and bow down in their overlords, subject to the will of the Server Host and become repentant of the crimes they have committed.  

I have no idea what I am talking about.
