I don't know when the changeover occurred. I've just recently started following Palgrave DoD's, but it appeared that their "deal of the day" actually occurs "once every two days." I thought that the deal wouldn't change over until the end of the day tomorrow (well, today, if you're in the U.S. EST).
For anyone who is interested, "today's" "deal of the day" is White, G. - Audience Participation in Theatre. It's "only" 75% off, though. For that reason, I probably wouldn't have posted it. |

It occurs to me that I should always mention when a special is a "deal of the day," when I'm aware of it; I haven't always done that, at least consistently. So, I will begin doing that, effective immediately.
However, I run across a lot of deals whose ending date and time is not stated, and I'll post them, anyway. Sometimes, unfortunately, these deals quickly end. I do the best that I can do, within reason.

I did a little research on Palgrave's "deal of the day." Catlady may say that I'm over-thinking things, and perhaps I am. But here we go.
It seems that Palgrave's idea of "day" in their "deal of the day" is pretty fluid, and unpredictable:
1. 4/28/18 6:26 p.m. EST--
Cross-Cultural Communication was the DoD. However, I think that it had also been the DoD of 4/27/18, also. If so, that's
two days.
2. 4/29/18 12:46 a.m. EST--
Audience Participation in Theatre was the DoD. It seemed to be good for
one day.
3. 4/30/18 2:56 p.m. EST--
Crime Script Analysis: Preventing Crimes Against Business (I haven't posted, and don't plan to post, this one) is the DoD. However,
the book's webpage says that the special price will be good through
May 1, which is tomorrow; therefore, the deal will have lasted
two days.
So, as I said, it looks like the durations of Palgrave's "deals of the day" are unpredictable. However, I will make a point to check the website every day. I may not post every one of the deals, it depends how broad-based I think that the interest in the book will be among MobileReaders.
I don't know about you, but I can live with a little inconvenience if I can save 89% or more on ebooks that I need or want.
For MobileReaders in Great Britain: there is
a Palgrave "deal of the day" webpage for you guys.
