Nope. Seems like 24-36 hours for most of them. I've lost out on far too many deals by sleeping on them, and sometimes it seems like by the time I get the eReaderIQ notification, the deal is already over.

Sometimes they go longer. No clue what the calculus is behind that.

Only trick I've found is that Kobo has a section for "deals that end tonight", which at least lets me know they're about to end:

But that's about it, and I have no idea what all goes into that filter (i.e. if the book has to be a specific threshold of noteworthy for its sale to show up in the above).
