Essentially a 100% rebate is buy 2 for 1. Which is 50%
You buy one book for 16.11 and you can buy one at equal price or less.
Another way to do the math is as follow:
Two books cost $32.22 and you paid only $16.11
$32.22/$16.11 = 50%

I guess that is one way to look at it. Though you really aren't getting the first book at 50% off, at least that is what my credit card statement tells me.
Bottom line is 100% rebate makes me feel all tingly and good inside.
