a question, in general, when there is a coupon "valid until March 20" does that mean "until and including March 20" or until midnight March 19 ? and in which time zone ? anybody know ?

i ask, because i just remembered about this offer and decided to take advantage of it, so i tried to order a book. it was 20 minutes past midnight here, so the 21st for me, however i see on the site that diesel books in located in the US, so it was still the 20th on *their* servers... but the discount code was not accepted.

since i also have a question about why the LIT format is almost always more expensive than the MOBI format on their site i decided to wait to order (no hurry now) but i would like to know, for future reference...

i will send them an email with my questions as well but i thought maybe someone here already has the answer...

I don't, but would be curious to find out the answer if they give you one. I haven't seen any other e-book stores charging different prices for different formats. Maybe the Mobipocket retailer software is cheaper and they want to pass those savings on to the consumer? Perhaps they have some corporate-strategy reason for pushing consumers towards Mobipocket? Oh, how we wish to know...
