I have two K3s with Special Offers on my account - I gave one to my adult daughter for her birthday in August, and just bought one for me. Now, I find out that they've changed the policy and you can't use a special offer (like a horror book for $1) for each Kindle, but only for each account - which means only one of us can take advantage of the special offer, even though we each own a KSO.

This doesn't seem right - it didn't used to work this way - and nowhere did Amazon inform anyone of the change. It just one day became different.

Anybody else noticed this, or is there a thread about it that I'm missing? There's a thread on the Amazon Kindle forum about it and a bunch of upset people - including me - since these KSOs were bought with the expectation that each device would be eligible to take advantage of the advertised special offers.
