Black Friday 2015

[badgoodDeb]

I keep a GPS in the car. And we can get down to 0F in the winter. Getting to 10F is fairly regular, at least for a week or two each winter.

I'm not saying I SHOULD keep my electronics in the car, but I've done so for 3 years at least.

Congratulations! You'll love your Kobo.

Order from Chapters. You pay in CAD so the exchange rate is in your favor. You order from Kobo and you pay in US.Also, the price is higher so you'll do better overall from Chapters regardless of the free accessory from Kobo. Just get a good case for the Glo HD and you'll be all set.

Thank you! I ordered from Chapters. Deposit posted faster then we thought. $84.48 with shipping. I'm so excited. Now for the case. I got to find one.

Update: Case is ordered. They didn't have black so I got a Navy Blue Omoton case for $10.99 on Amazon.

Good deal there. You'll enjoy the Kobo. if you need any help, there's plenty of people to give help over in Koboland (MR's Kobo Forum).

Blossom, I hope you love your Kobo. I love mine that I ordered Thanksgiving.

I noticed the price reduction early this morning, so I cancelled the order I'd placed yesterday and bought two at $11.99 each. It'll be nice to have a music player that can stay in the car.

Here's the link again, in case anyone's interested: LG Optimus Exceed 2 (Verizon Prepaid)

Hey monkey & others: referring to the last few posts in another related thread, how's the battery life on this LG Optimus vs the MOTO E? (The other thread said an LG Volt had good battery life.). I wonder if I should keep my second MOTO and get this for the niece (who is 8 and hasn't expressed a need for one yet.)

Battery size isn't the only criteria for battery life, but it is a good indicator all else being equal.

Battery Size

• LG Volt -- 3,000 mAh
• Moto E -- 2,390 mAh
• LG Opt -- 2,100 mAh

Frankly, I'd be much more worried about heat, than cold. But, as long as the device is stored in the glove compartment of console, it should be safe. I haven't done any scientific tests but I've left one of my Android tablets in the car through the summer without incident.

Here's some info on cold weather cell phone concerns:

It should be okay as long as it isn't left in direct sunlight, and even then it would probably be okay. I live in Texas where the summer heat is brutal. I leave a GPS and Dash Cam in the RAV4 all year long, and it sits in my driveway in open sunlight. I never have had any issues with any electronic devices due to heat inside of a car.

Sounds like Amazon hired a bunch of tubemonkeys at the factory to speed things up!

Assuming the GPS is one meant to be used in the car, both of those devices are designed with the knowledge they're likely to get left in the car regularly. So they could be hardier than a smartphone to heat/cold. Might not be a good comparison.
