In the UK Amazon have the 8GB Fire reduced to £39.99 and the 16GB to £49.99. Plus reductions on the HD6 and th HD10.
I picked up the 16GB Fire and I Must admit for a £50 tablet I am impressed. |

I still have several original Clip and Clip+ that I use for the gym (one in each of a couple of gym bags and one in a locker, depending on where I go), for travel (so I don't burn the battery in my phone playing music) and at work (just for background music). I don't do ebooks, so file structure doesn't matter much to me, but I do really like that, tiny as they are, you still get a little screen that helps you navigate the options and playlists.
I love both the Clip and Clip+, and have only had two die so far - two of the gym ones that eventually got "sweated to death" - no matter how well I try to wipe the unit dry, the sweat does finally get into them. (And I've lost two to my husband and one to my son...sigh!) Back when Woot was independent, and really truly a "daily deal" site, and used to have Sansa refurbs as their daily deal on a pretty regular basis, I picked up a bunch of Clip and Clip+ at ridiculously good prices. I am really glad I did, because I agree with others - they do seem to be getting worse, not better, as the product iterations go forward. And yes, bluetooth would be nice, but I'm dealing without it okay... Quote:

I thought I saw a sale for Moto E's recently somewhere else on this forum, but when I searched I didn't find it.
I have been looking for a replacement for one of my Moto E's that I dropped, tried to catch it, but just ended up batting it further, it skittered along the pavement in the parking lot, and then got run over by a car going by. (If I had tried to do this I couldn't have done it on purpose - it must have looked like one of those funniest home videos...) When I checked a bunch of deal sites on the Internet, I found refurb Moto E 1st gen on sale at Page Plus Cellular for $9.99 and $0.01 ground shipping. I'm not sure about the differences between 1st and 2nd gen, but all I'm using it for is music and books, so I have to imagine it will work fine for that. Granted I have a LOT of books and a LOT of music, but they all reside on the SD card, and I'm not trying to stream video or even play audiobooks. Anyway, I've ordered one and if it doesn't work, I'm only out $10. Link is here: https://www.pagepluscellular.com/pho...to-e-(refurb)/ BTW, you should have seen the nice lady's face who ran over it - she was horrified, but when I explained to her that it had been all of $10 last Black Friday (I think that's how much it was?), that I wasn't really using it as a cell phone, and that I was just using it for books and music, we ended up having a conversation about it, and now she's a NCP convert too...many thanks to tubemonkey from someone not even on MR ![]() Last edited by sufue; 09-05-2016 at 12:45 PM. |

And, after that bit of good news, a bit of bad news. My LG Volt from two holiday seasons ago (???) now seems to have stopped recognizing its micro SD card. I've cycled the phone, taken the card out and put it back in, tried a brand new card, pretty much everything I can think of short of doing a factory reset - which I really don't want to have to do since then I have to re-tweak it to get it the way I want it again (and it might not work even after that). Oh, and BTW, the original card it doesn't recognize works okay in a card reader hooked up to my desktop. So I really think it is the phone.
Anyone else have this happen, or have any suggestions before I try the reset option? Or maybe order a second refurb Moto E... Last edited by sufue; 09-05-2016 at 10:45 AM. |
