Alexa show mode for Prime Video

Create a seamless video experience for the first hybrid mode Alexa device

For the first time ever you can dock your tablet and transform it into an immersive, full-screen Alexa experience optimised for visibility across the room. Just ask Alexa to show trending news, timers and alarms, movie showtimes, weather and more. 

When you dock your tablet it automatically switches to Show Mode where you can enjoy movies, TV shows, books, apps and games while your tablet is docked-or pick it up to take your entertainment on the go.
