Toggle on Show Mode, and right before your eyes, your Fire Tablet transforms into an Echo Show, complete with a large-screen UI.

Just grab your tablet stand, prop it up on a flat surface, then swipe down from the top of the device to open the Quick Settings menu. It's the perfect option if you've got a road trip coming up.ĭid you know Fire HD 8 and Fire HD 10 devices can double as makeshift Echo Show alternatives? It transforms your tablet into the perfect gadget for the kitchen counter, the coffee table in the living room, or anywhere else around your house. There's also a filter to display downloaded content only, in case you're offline for an extended period of time. This includes synced Kindle purchases, apps and games from the Appstore, Prime Video content, and Audible selections, and you can customize it using the button at the bottom of this page. The Library tab is where you'll spot all of your digital content.

It might not be immediately apparent, but you can easily create folders by dragging apps on top of each other or uninstall (most) unwanted software by pressing and holding an icon. You can get rid of advertisements or suggested content on the top of the Home tab by tapping, holding, and selecting Not Interested, leaving only your list of installed apps. With three tabs (For You, Home, and Library), Amazon's setup is simplified for a big-screen experience. Amazon's homescreen experience may not feel like classic Android, but with a little customization, it's usable, especially if you're a Prime subscriber. It's a difficult process that's easily broken through system updates and reboots. Although setting a third-party launch on Fire OS is possible, we don't recommend it.
