free Stieg Larsson book w purchase at Kindle UK - good thru 6 Sept 2017

[sufue]

The following splash screen appeared for me this morning on Kindle UK. I have not yet tried this offer, but will probably buy a Kindle UK book soon, and will report back. It does say in the terms that this is only if you got an email (which I didn't, just the splash screen), but it's not clear whether that applies to the "redeem" email or an email about the initial offer. In any case, I'll report back, or someone else may be able to...

Oh, and actually, now that I re-read this, you don't even have to buy a book if you instead download and register the Kindle Reading App - but since this is only if you haven't already done so, it probably lets out anyone on MR who is reading this post

Interesting. I got #1 in a deal sometime ago, and haven't yet read it. As I am off on my hols in a couple of weeks, this comes at the right time as I fully expect to make at least one purchase before I go.

Looks like it's open to everyone who makes a qualifying purchase. I picked up the Peter F Hamilton books that were on offer last weekend and just had a "Congratulations on your free Kindle book!" email.

Thank you for participating in the Get a free Kindle Book promotion. You are receiving this email because you have bought a Kindle book or a print book or registered on the Kindle Reading app between 16th August 2017 and 6th September 2017. You are now eligible for a free Kindle book from the Millennium series. You can redeem your free Kindle book any time before 8th October 2017.

We hope you enjoy reading the Millennium series. To download your free Kindle Book, please click on the link below. Happy reading!

Here's the odd thing. I've already got them all, so the promotion isn't actually of much use to me. However, as I knew it was a genuine Amazon offer, I clicked through anyway. The second and third novels were both greyed out, but it did let me select Dragon Tattoo.

Looks like the version I picked up back in 2015 was a separate tie-in edition to the Daniel Craig/Rooney Mara film adaptation. The one offered here has a different ASIN, so Amazon regard it as a completely different product.

By a bizarre coincidence, I finished reading the first authorised sequel just last night.

Just be aware that the second and third novels are effectively one story over two volumes. You might not want to be stranded on the beach without the conclusion

There is more than one Kindle Read App so I could qualify by installing one I don't have, say Kindle For PC, in the qualifying period

Thanks for letting me know. I wonder if it will be the same as previous deals and you'll get at link for each qualifying purchase.

I got an email this morning saying that I've qualified for the offer. Whilst I have bought ebooks recently I haven't set up any new kindle readers or software so it looks like buying a book is enough.
