For Amazon, that's midnight and when prices often change (although authors now can pick free periods as short as 12, 4 or even 1 hour).

I'll have to keep that in mind. I think that that is the first time that I've heard that. And I'm usually up at 3 a.m., so it would not be that big of a deal to wait until after that magic hour to post a thing or two. (Strange. I was a "lark" all through childhood and well up into my adulthood, but about 5 years or so I became an "owl" and I've been one ever since. And I hate it.)
I wish that Amazon would inform us how long a markdown is to last and/or how long that there is left on a markdown. I'll make a point to bring that up to Jeffrey (Bezos) the next time that he and I do lunch together.
