A one-day delay...okay. (Although I agree with the person who suggested just "hard-coding" the release time for the later time zones).

There have been a number of books I've been waiting for (released in dead-tree hardback orpaperback) where the publisher delayed release for two or three weeks so as not to hurt the author's sales in the first weeks.

I find this...annoyingly amusing. On one hand, I keep hearing that ebooks purchases really are just a drop in the bucket compared to print. If that's true, how do our "meager" purchases hurt the release numbers? On the other hand, if ebook purchases are significant enough to affect release numbers, why don't they count?!
