Like all new Fire tablets, the HD 8 supports Alexa hands-free information requests to access entertainment and control smart home devices. When you switch the Fire HD 8 to Show mode, which does not require the dock in this set, the tablet turns into a smart display fully compatible with Alexa. You can make video calls in View mode, visit family and friends for quick conversations or status checks, and view live video feeds from Alexa-enabled smart home security cameras.

You do not need the charging station in Show mode to charge the Fire HD 8 tablet or to switch to Show mode. However, when you install the tablet on the dock, the switch is automatically changed without changing the settings. Most people use smart screens in fixed locations but move a tablet. Automatic mode switching is convenient, so you always have the device in the mode you prefer. You can always switch modes manually, whether the tablet is connected or not, but if you use the charging station in display mode, you will also reduce your chances of finding the tablet with little or no battery power.

Normally priced at $ 120 if purchased separately, the Fire HD 8 tablet and show tablet docking package is $ 100 during this Labor Day sale. If you want a dual-use smart device that is both a powerful tablet and a Alexa-compatible smart screen, take advantage of the rarely-reduced package price. Note that this offer is only available with the Fire HD 8 black tablet, not with the yellow, red or blue versions.
