So this transforms your Fire HD 10 into an Echo Show that can also be used as your smart home hub. This feature is available only to Fire HD 8 and Fire HD 10 (only from the 2017 Models upwards). Both devices also offer hands-free Alexa which makes it possible for you to interact with the smart assistant by talking.
So when you are in Show Mode, it means you can ask Alexa questions like “Who won the match yesterday”, and see the visual sports report. Or you can ask Alexa to show you footage of your home or lyrics to your favorite music.
Can I Use Show Mode Without Dock?
Most people who want to use this Show Mode consider getting an innovative charging dock. At least you get a charging dock while your tablet would be on display so the battery never gets to run down. Show Mode docks are meant to be used alongside your tablet if you intend on using it mainly for the Show Mode feature.
The dock makes enabling this feature very easy. The Show Mode dock comes in two different parts. The first one is the actual dock which you set up by plugging it into a socket. The next is the pad that you plug or place your Fire HD 10 device to start charging. Once you start charging your device on the dock, it automatically switches on the Show Mode feature on your tablet.
