Amazon's new presentation mode turns fire tablets into echo

If you are the owner of an Amazon Fire tablet and want it to be closer to the Echo Show, Amazon offers new products. The new loading station in Show mode for Fire HD 8 and Fire HD 10 provides an easy way to load tablets while simultaneously supporting them. Thanks to the new Show Mode feature, which will be deployed in a software update from July 2nd, the dock also turns tablets into an Echo Show, with a continuous display of the time, weather and news, and hands-free control via the voice badistant Alexa.

It makes sense to enable this type of features on tablets because both already have hands-free access to Alexa and to many of the same Amazon services as the Echo Show. You can view song lyrics, read recipes, watch newsletters, set timers or extract Amazon Prime Video content on tablets in a hands-free interface that reflects what you get on the screen. Echo Show. Put the tablet on the dock will automatically launch the View mode, remove it will restore it to the standard interface of the tablet fire
