then an announcement was made a few days before may 1st, bringing the date forward to then.
I believe it was made after 5pm on the day before?
So 0 working days in advance.

And, again, for agency eBooks Amazon and Kobo cannot just lower prices, they are set by the publisher. Part of that price-setting decision on the part of the publisher is setting eBook prices relative to pBook prices.

From Amazon's statement (my emphasis): “For titles where Amazon sets the price, we will reduce the prices of books not already on promotion,” said a spokesperson. “After receiving today’s notification, we are working as fast as possible to lower prices for customers.”
