That’s what Engadget is reporting, along with the full text of the Amazon email. If you don’t want the book back Amazon will give you either a $30 credit or send you a $30 check, your option. The most interesting thing, I find, is that when Amazon returns the book they will also return any annotations you have made.
Good on you, Amazon!

While this is a good move on Amazon’s part, they should have done this at the time Bezos made his apology, or even sooner (i.e. within days of deleting the content).
I feel so slighted. I have received no such offer from Amazon (they swiped “Animal Farm” from me, as originally report here: http://www.teleread.com/2009/07/17/you-really-dont-own-your-amazon-ebooks/)
I emailed the kindle-response@amazon.com address, and got an automated immediate response back:
“Thanks for indicating your preference to us. We’re working on your request and anticipate to have completed processing within 7 days. We will contact you if we require more information to complete your request.”
whatever…
