My thoughts,

I just assumed the Saturday idea was for work/school
too.  But the more I thought about it The Solstice is
the only point in the year where the light equals the
dark and the days ahead are more light than dark.  I
think it has something to do with it.  

I also think for the publishers the marketing is all
important.  They want this to be the BIGGEST event
ever.  So why release it during the week when some
people (I don't know who, none of us) couldn't or
wouldn't go buy the book the day of its release.  Just
my thoughts....
