You may be able to overclock cpus/gpus better with lower temperatures, but chemical batteries are much worse in lower temps.I have no suggestions, as google gave me pretty much what you listed already, but wtf in regard to the room being below 65 degrees? I know this isn't your idea, but just asking anyway. I can't even begin to fathom how that could be true, let alone acceptable if it were. The battery in a Kindle Fire can't be much different from millions (billions?) of batteries in similar devices, and all of those charge just fine in cold weather. This isn't like the water in your car battery freezing, and typically electronics are just fine (if not better) at cold temperatures. And 65 isn't even cold! Is there even any logic to support such a claim?
As a hopefully somewhat useful aside, every once in awhile my phone's charging status gets fucked up, usually with not charging all the way or running out too fast, and a reboot always fixes that. I think sometimes it just loses its calibration or something so it thinks it is fully charged when it isn't, so stops charging. A reboot makes it see it as it really is, so it will charge the rest of the way. Is it possible that something like that is happening with the Fire? As in, it might actually be fully charged, but the way it is measuring and reporting it, it thinks it is only 72%.
Really? ya the simple touch is way better option than the basic but paperwhite seems to kick glows ass. Plus AmaZON is way less likely to go bankrupt or stop supporting the reader.Nooks are such a better product than Kindles. It's a shame they don't sell near as well.
I was referring more to the tablet e-readers from them both, the Kindle Fire line vs the Nook Color/HD line. Kindle restricts you to the Amazon app store and only reading .mobi files(unless you root the device). Nook is completely open and free. Can use any book format, can use any app store or ebook source(Google play, Amazon, B&N, etc) and the Nook is a hell of a lot cheaper. The 9" Nook HD+ with 32GB built-in storage was $150 over christmas. The top of the line 9" Kindle Fire HDX with 32GB is like $429. Kindle used to be cheap, but now they are creeping up towards Apple pricing territory, and trying to make their tablet as proprietary as possibly(also a dreaded Apple feature)Really? ya the simple touch is way better option than the basic but paperwhite seems to kick glows ass. Plus AmaZON is way less likely to go bankrupt or stop supporting the reader.
I do most of my reading like this on my smartphone in night mode.I find that reading on a tablet in "night mode" (black background, white text, like this site) is just as easy on the eyes as e-ink. I just don't want to have to own one tablet for reading and another tablet for everything else. Much more convenient to have it all in 1 device.
