RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Virginia electronic books consumers will receive $2.3 million under a nationwide settlement with three book publishers over allegations of price fixing.
Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli says Virginia's share is part of a $69 million antitrust settlement with 54 attorneys general for the other states, districts and territories.
The agreement is with Hachette Book Group Inc., HarperCollins Publishers LLC and Simon & Schuster Inc.
The publishers also will have to allow all online retailers to competitively price all e-books in the future. They also will pay $7.5 million to the states to cover costs.
Payments to consumers who bought e-books from the publishers between April 1, 2010, and May 21 are to begin a month after a court approves the deal.
The publishers had earlier settled with the U.S. government.
