Out of curiosity, is it unusual for european retailers to tie deep discount sales to major holidays?

Pocketbook isn't alone in offering a nice discount on an ebook reader right now; the Sony PRS-350 is running $109 and the Aluratek Libre $49.

A variety of other retailers (Sears, Best Buy, Radio Shack, Office Depot, etc) are also offering up 30-50% off on furniture, appliances, electronics, what-not, all tied to the Memorial Day holiday (the "unofficial" start of summer). Similar deals are common for the 4th of July and Labor day (the "unofficial" end of summer), and even more so, the day after Thanksgiving, aka, Black Friday.

I know Canadians have their biggest sales on "boxing day", the day after Christmas, but on the other side of the pond...?

Are things that different?
