Which it doesn't appear that B&N is doing-so I'm not sure what they're doing, and wonder if even they know?)
True. Interestingly I can't find the section on the "New Books" page which says when they're update the list. I'm sure it used to say 10am EST on Monday. Now it just states when the rebates and rapid rebates expire.
