Thanks for stopping by, but it appears you are using a (very) old address for my blog. I've moved to a Wordpress site and you'll need to update your bookmarks for Books on the Knob

Get an award-winning eBook title for only $1 (KSO)

This offer is for those with a Kindle with Special Offers (including any Kindle Touch or Kindle Keyboard that opts in to Special Offers).

Get an award-winning eBook title for only $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, click on it, then on the link to Email Me This Offer. Make sure you see the confirmation message that the email has been sent.
  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 February 7, 2012.
  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 $2.51 to $9.48. 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 January 7 and must do so from your Kindle with Special Offers. You'll get a promotion code via email and you have until January 7, 2012 to enter and redeem the code. Once you enter it, it will work on the next book on the list that you purchase.

If you've been disappointed in the KSO offers lately (and, who hasn't), now is your chance to take advantage of a good one. There are only 25 books to choose from, but the only thing better than a dollar book would have been a free one! I see several that I could use to replace a paper copy here -- if you have more than one KSO, like I do, be sure to register them on different accounts BEFORE you claim the code on even one of them, or they will all get the same code and you only get one offer. Remember, you can either maintain a library on the different accounts OR you can gift the book (after entering the claim code successfully) back to your shared account, where everyone in the family can read it.

Several of the books on this offer are already discounted to the $2.50-$3 range, so you might want to glance thru the books, even if you don't have a KSO.
