Buy one of 50 biography and history titles for $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, which means you can add the offers, grab this one, then turn them back off!).

Buy one of 50 biography and history 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 50 biography and history 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 April 8, 2012.
  5. Enter your code and follow the directions.
  6. Choose any of these books and you'll pay only $1. Be sure to click on the two category links, as you'll only see some of the titles when the page first displays.
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 to over $15. 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 March 8 and must do so from your Kindle with Special Offers. You'll get a promotion code via email and you have until April 8, 2012 to enter and redeem the code. Once you enter it, it will work on the next book on the list that you purchase.

There are several interesting options in the choices for this offer (although a few are already on sale for $3.99), such as the book a current movie is based upon, We Bought a Zoo: The Amazing True Story of a Young Family, a Broken Down Zoo, and 200 Wild Animals, or Autobiography of Mark Twain: The Complete and Authoritative Edition, Volume 1, which you definitely don't want to have to hold in the paper edition (it's over 750 pages). There's a repeat of one title that sold out fast the last time it was on a $1 offer, The Worst Hard Time: The Untold Story of Those Who Survived the Great American Dust Bowl, so if you missed it then, you might want to use the offer right away to get it (I just did, as I was one of the ones that waited too long, last time).
