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.”
