Buy a "Humor" Book for $1 (KSO)

This offer is only for those with a Kindle with Special Offers:

Buy one of 100 Humor titles for $1

To take advantage of this offer:
  1. First, turn on your Kindle with Special Offers, click Menu, then View Special Offers.
  2. Find the offer: Buy one of 100 Humor titles for $1. Click on it, then on the link to Email Me This Offer. Repeat for each KSO on your account, as you'll get a separate code for each one and can take advantage of this deal more than once.
  3. You will get an email from Amazon with your promotional code, right away.
  4. Once you have the promotion code (and have selected your book; see below), click this link, then on the button labeled Enter Your Code, at any time up to the expiration date of September 4.
  5. Enter your code and follow the directions.
  6. Choose any of these books and you'll pay only $1.
You'll have a promotion code on your account that will apply to the FIRST book you buy (from the list) after that. Note that even if the book is free, you'll pay a dollar, so be careful which one you pick after you enter the code -- make sure you don't grabbing a low cost title by accident, which can happen if you apply the code right away, before you are ready to buy the book. Current prices range from $4.79 to $15.30. You should save the code and not enter it until you are ready to buy a book.

To recap: you must claim the offer by August 4 and must do so from your Kindle with Special Offers. You'll get a promotion code via email and you have until September 4 to enter and redeem the code. Once you enter it, it will work on the next book on the list that you purchase.

There is new language on the offer page that says that Amazon can modify or withdraw this offer at any time - I suspect because a few of the books on the last offer were pulled by the publishers before the offer period was up. So, I would not count on waiting until the last day, if there is a title you see that you really want. There is at least one volume of poetry (Ogden Nash), mixed in, so you might want to scan the full set of titles, even if you are not a big Humor fan. Between the current offers and the pile of free books this morning, I think I'll slink off and read for the rest of the afternoon. Maybe I'll even get thru the samples I have downloaded and read one of the books!
