Buy a Mystery & Thriller Title for $1 (KSO)

If you have your Kindle with Special Offers, be sure to wake it up and check the Special Offers page. Today's deal, which you must sign up for by July 27, is any one of 100 Mystery & Thriller 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 Mystery & Thriller 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 August 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 go grabbing some low cost title, unless that is really the one you want. Current prices range from $1.99 (titles on the current Kindle Big Deal Sale) to $13.75 (and one book isn't available in the US, despite this offer being limited to those in the US). 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 July 27 and must do so from your Kindle with Special Offers. You'll get a promotion code via email and you have until August 27 to enter and redeem the code. Once you enter it, it will work on the next book on the list that you purchase.

This offer is separate from the $1 for a Kindle book offer that expires tomorrow. You can take advantage of both (provided you signed up for the earlier offer in time).

Like previous offers, this one requires you to use the full checkout process in order to enter your promotional code. Also, like all Amazon sales that use promotional codes, if you have a gift card balance, you must use it for the payment (if there is not a sufficient balance, then you can pick which credit card or other payment to use).

Once again, this offer can be used more than once per account, so long as you have more than one KSO registered. Just click on the ad on each device to receive the individual promotion codes via email.

There is a lot to choose from on this promotion, as anything in the Jewelry store that is sold by Amazon.com is eligible; items sold by third party merchants are excluded (even if fulfilled by Amazon.com).

New Kindle Game - Deathtrap Dungeon

There is new episode for Worldweaver's Fighting Fantasy Adventure game series on Kindle today, Deathtrap Dungeon ($3.99). The first two are still on 1/2 price sale at $1.99 each.

Book Description
Deathtrap Dungeon brings the third installment of the popular game book series Fighting Fantasy by Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone to Kindle.

A game book is an interactive story. As you read you will make decisions as to which way to go, what to say to other characters, and what to do with items you might find. A convenient in-game map tracks places you have visited, items, or monsters encountered.

In Deathtrap Dungeon, you adventure in the medieval fantasy land of Allansia, where a twisted Baron has set up a great contest which consists primarily of trying to survive the diabolical traps and vicious monsters in the deadly labyrinth, Deathtrap Dungeon. So far, none have survived to lay claim to the prize, but that was before you came along.

You are the hero! You decide which route to take, which dangers to risk, and which creatures to fight. But be warned - it will also be you who has to live or die by the consequences of your actions.

Free Book (nook) - Zendegi

If you missed getting Zendegi ($7.99 Kindle), by Greg Egan, when Nightshade was sending out copies in return for an email address, last May, then pop over to B&N and get a free copy tonight. If you want it on Kindle, instead, be sure to let them know about the lower price (there's a link just below the Product Details section).

Book Description
In 2012, journalist Martin Seymour travels to Iran to cover the parliamentary elections. With most would-be candidates disqualified this turns out to be the expected non-event, but shortly afterward a compromising image of a government official captured on a mobile phone triggers a political avalanche.

Nasim Golestani, a young Iranian scientist living in exile in the United States, is hoping to work on the Human Connectome Project -- which aims to construct a detailed map of the wiring of the human brain -- but when government funding for the project is cancelled and a chance comes to return to her homeland, she chooses to head back to Iran.

Fifteen years later, Martin is living in Iran with his wife and young son, while Nasim is in charge of the virtual world known as Zendegi, used by millions of people for entertainment and business. When Zendegi comes under threat from powerful competitors, Nasim draws on her old skills, and data from the now-completed Human Connectome Project, to embark on a program to create more life-like virtual characters and give the company an unbeatable edge.
As controversy grows over the nature and rights of these software characters, tragedy strikes Martin's family. Martin turns to Nasim, seeking a solution that no one else can offer ... but Zendegi is about to become a battlefield.

New Kindle Game - Nonograms

Nonograms ($2.99), is a new logic puzzle by Metalgrass Software. This one looks quite a bit different than any of the ones I've played before, so may be just the thing to exercise the old noggin in a different direction.

Book Description
Nonograms is a puzzle game designed to delight logic and number puzzle lovers.

Nonograms contains simple yet challenging puzzles, in which your goal is to uncover a hidden black and white pattern. The puzzles contain a grid with number clues that tell you how many groups of black squares there are in any given row or column, and how many black squares there are in each group. With this information, and some skillfully applied logic, you can solve the puzzle.

With three difficulty levels, Nonograms can be enjoyed by beginners and experts alike. An optional game clock lets you see how quickly you can solve the puzzles, and you can try to beat your best time for each difficulty level. If you find a puzzle too hard, you can ask for hints or view the solution to that puzzle. Nonograms randomly generates new grids, so it is unlikely that you will ever run out of puzzles to solve.

Nonograms are an enjoyable way to exercise your mind, and if you like sudoku and similar number grid puzzles, you'll love Nonograms.
