Reddit mentions of Frost King V73/9H Indoor Shrink Window Kit 42 62-Inch, Clear, 9-Pack

You can buy enough material to shrink wrap four or five windows for $15 at the hardware store. The shrink wrap attaches with double sided tape that you can remove easily with the heat of a hair dryer.

The wrap is nearly invisible if you install it right, and it forms an airtight seal. Curtains over it would add significant insulation, but this isn't strictly necessary. I've sealed venetian blinds inside some windows and they looked fine, didn't gather dust for a few months.

edit: this won't work well with all windows- some have a sill at the bottom that makes it impossible to acheive a good seal. You need to seal in all of the movable parts of the window for best results, not just the glass. It is possible to wrap over the sills, which still gives good insulation, despite not being airtight, but it looks bad.

One thing you might consider, if you live in an apartment with single paned windows, is to get Frost King window kits. You can get them at Lowe's/Home Depot and you use to kit to effectively create double paned windows where, before, there was only a single pane. It's extremely effective at helping keep your place cool/hot as desired and even helps with sound insulation.

I lived at many a place on southside with window frames that had shifted and that had single paned windows that let wind and sound through like a leaky bucket. These kits helped a lot. Just note that you'll have to re-apply every 9-12 months as the tape loses its stickey-ness.

Once it gets close to Christmas, just go to Butch McGuire's and wait for the snow to melt.

Also, to ensure you won't get kicked in the perineum by your first cold month utility bill - spend a few dollars on some rolls/packages of plastic that you can put over all the windows. You're not gonna be opening them very much if at all, and the pocket of air they creates a buffer that really cuts down on draft and some of the heat loss.

Also consider getting some of those rubber/plastic seals for exterior doors.

I also bought an LCD & digitizer unit off eBay. My procedure is the exact one outlined in this video.

/u/phoenixpants is right - After I was done repairing the tablet, I realized that I could have saved myself a lot of time and frustration by buying a frame to go along with the screen assembly. Scraping the glass off the old frame was easily the most challenging and time consuming part of the entire process and I ended up cutting myself by accident. Also, try to get some adhesive strips included with the LCD - I ended up using the adhesive from this product as a substitute (available at Home Depot).

I'm not sure why you were getting sporadic touches - it's possible that the hardware you bought was intermittent. Also, be sure that all the connections on the motherboard (ribbon cables, connectors, etc) are properly lined up because one small mistake will render the device unusable. Good luck!

EDIT: You wouldn't need the adhesive strips if you buy the frame attached to the LCD assembly
