New Offer (claim by 07 Jan)
I showed this offer to my hubby, and the one book he wants (Life of Pi), is the one book that shows up as "Currently unavailable", even though it is on the list. What's up with that?

Sweet--that was worth temporarily re-subscribing to get "The Spirit Ring". One more paperback I can remove from my shelves, and one more book I get to reread.
That's what I got too. It's the only author I knew on that list.

Amazon has limited quantities of each book available at this price. Kinda sucks that two sold out on the opening day of this offer.

Crazy! I grabbed The Spirit Ring as that was the only author I knew from the list.

But they're ebooks, how exactly does one sell out??

Thank you for the info, btw.

I can see these promotions working one of two ways:

1) Amazon has an agreement with the publisher where they agree to split the cost of the discount in which case I am sure the publisher limits the number of discounts that can be given

2) Amazon is absorbing the entire cost of the promotion, in which case I'm sure they want to control the costs so it makes sense to put limits in place.

This is pathetic. I checked my KTKSO last night and only had 1 special offer. The buy one for $1.

Not very impressive.. Of course to be honest, I have been using my KF much more lately.

One offer is the current norm. If you check the archives (see OP), you can see how often Amazon has offered multiple offers.

I like when they offer books for $1 would of liked more of a selection though on this particular offer.

So do I. Just wish they'd limit the offers to Kindle related items.

Regarding the "Buy One of 25 Award-Winning Books for $1" offer...Amazon is replacing the books that "sell out," so the list should stay at 25 ebooks until the offer expires on February 7. I'm going to keep checking to see if there are any new ones added that I'm interested in, since I missed out on the only one I wanted on that first day.

I was very happy to see Flowers for Algernon on sale. It's an excellent book, and I haven't read it in years. I snapped it up as soon as I saw it.

That's what I bought, too. Brings back some crazy HS English mem'ries. (I had some loonies in the class - it produced two marginally successful screenwriters).

It brought back a lot of the same memories for me as well. Out of my graduating class I'm probably the most successful person in the group, but that's not saying much.

I've been wanting to write for the last couple years but I apparently have a terminal case of writers block :P
