Amazon Show Mode Dock
I suppose it's doing what it was designed to do, which is be a cheap alternative to the echo show. For the most part it works, but I constantly have to reset the tablet in show mode despite it always being connected to the dock. It's very frustrating as I'm not sure exactly what the triggering action is for throwing it out of show mode. The other frustrating thing is despite the tablet being connected to a Bluetooth speaker, voice commands are still recorded using the tablet's microphone. This means you have to be practically on top of the tablet for it to hear your commands. I would bypass buying this and put the money towards purchasing an echo spot or echo show.

Put your Fire HD 8 in "Show" Mode!
I bought this charging dock in a whim and it turned out to be a nice little addition to my Fire HD 8 tablet. Show mode is a nice feature, and just like my echo dot plays my Sirius XM channels with a nice display, and responds quickly to my requests. Plus the unit overall has a small footprint on a table or nightstand. I would have liked to give the unit 5 stars but the tablet does tend to slide off the cradle a bit easy. Specifically, it slides off the charging pins easily. I don't see it causing any real damage to the fire tablet as it is in a case in the cradle but it does seem to be a poor design for an Amazon product. I'm pretty certain the next version will be much better!

Nice dock, performs as described
As others have commented, I agree this dock is not worth its full asking price. I got mine on BB’s website as an open item and had a $5 RZ certificate. Getting this for a reduced amount was fine, but I wouldn’t pay $40. As far as the dock itself, there’s not much to it - plug it in with the included adapter, attach your Fire tablet, and you have yourself a stable charging cradle that can automatically turn your Fire tab into a Show. I have a Show (and countless other Amazon devices), which is used in our kitchen, while the tablet is docked on my bedroom nightstand and then connected via Bluetooth to my Bose Soundlink Mini. This docking station isn’t going to make your tablet recreate the sound a Show provides...not sure how one could expect it to? Anyway, it’s Amazon’s continued effort to take a low risk approach in to getting us to buy yet another peripheral device to use in the house. They’re not marketing these to make a ton of cash, rather, to help those who won’t get a Show, or those who have a nice Bluetooth external speaker, use their tablets for expanded use.
