Get a Kindle book for $1 (KSO)

This offer is only for those with a Kindle with Special Offers (including the brand new $79 Kindle):

Get a Kindle book from a list of thousands 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: Get a Kindle book from a list of thousands for $1. Click on it, then on the link to Email Me This Offer.
  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 November 27.
  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 just above $2 to $20.00 (End Malaria, with $20 donated by Amazon, even if you only pay $1), with several in the upper teen range. 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 October 27 and must do so from your Kindle with Special Offers. You'll get a promotion code via email and you have until November 27 to enter and redeem the code. Once you enter it, it will work on the next book on the list that you purchase.

Limited to one per customer and one per device.

If you want this offer on more than one account (and you have multiple devices), be sure to change the registration of the devices before you attempt to get the promotion code on any of them (I ran into an issue with the device I'd ordered for hubby's account, as a gift, because I forgot to check the gift box; it was on the same account when I claimed an offer and his KSO sent him the same promo code, even after it was registered to his account, which is where we leave it registered, now).

Be sure to click on each of the Genre labels on the offer page, as there are often hundreds of books in a category (Romance is the largest, of course, with several hundred to choose from). I have found a number of books in the list that I had already purchased, but I'm positive I'll find (more than) one that I'll order on this deal. If you can't find a single book you want (or have extra deals on extra KSO's in family member accounts), you could always use your dollar to buy End Malaria and get Amazon to donate $20 to the charity.
