Buy one of 100 Humor titles for $1 (KSO)

This offer is only for those with a Kindle with Special Offers (including any Kindle Touch or Kindle Keyboard that opts in to 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.
  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 December 24.
  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 free (you definitely don't want to pay $1 for a free book) to $9.99. 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 November 24 and must do so from your Kindle with Special Offers. You'll get a promotion code via email and you have until December 24 to enter and redeem the code. Once you enter it, it will work on the next book on the list that you purchase.

Perfect timing - the first offer after allowing all Kindle 3+ owners to opt in to Special Offers is a tempting $1 book! If you have more than one device and want more than one book, be sure to FIRST register your devices to different accounts, before signing up on any of them, or all the devices will get the same promo code, which can only be used on the first account. One thing I have found is that you don't want to wait too long - as time passes, it's more likely that a book will be pulled by the publisher; two are already gone on this offer (or else someone picked the non-US editions for the offer; not useful, since the offers are limited to those in the US).
