Smart trick to get all the perks of an Echo Show for less money

Amazon

Everyone loves their Amazon Echo Show. Regardless of generation, you can access all your smart gadgets, listen to your favorite podcasts and music, get the local weather forecast and use tons of Alexa-friendly apps.

Use it to watch your favorite videos, upload your best pictures, cook along with top chefs on YouTube or video chat with friends and family.

But what if you don’t own an Echo Show? Just turn your Amazon Fire tablet into your own Echo Show. Here’s how.

1. Add a dock

Made for Amazon, Wireless Charging Dock

If you already own a Fire tablet, pick up this great wireless charging dock. It allows you to use Alexa and Show Mode while your tablet charges. Power your tablet in either portrait or landscape mode and enjoy fast charging, which powers your device up to 80% in less than two hours. And with such a large screen, you can see the display from across the room.

Promising review: “If you spring for the Fire Tablet, add this! Keeps it charged and visible! I set my Kindle Fire 8plus on ‘Show Mode’ when I’m not using it for other things. It works great to give me [the] weather, control a lamp [and] show me upcoming events. Get this to get more from your device!”

2. Don’t forget a simple but functional stand

Amazon Basics Multi-Angle Portable Stand

This portable stand is ideal for tablets, smartphones or e-readers that stand four to 10 inches high. There is a removable rubber pad along the bottom to keep it from slipping or sliding across various surfaces. The durable zinc-alloy body holds up to 11 pounds and can be folded flat for easy transport. Enjoy your tablet’s Show Mode on this stand, which is available in black or white.

Promising review: “A game changer. My 10-inch Kindle with docking unit has gotten too heavy for my arthritic hands. This stand allows me to set my Kindle in portrait view for reading at the dinner table … The stand holds the Kindle firmly in place and can be angled for easy viewing. The docking unit can remain plugged in by my easy chair. Convenient.”

Automating your backyard is a game-changer. It’s hard to go back to the old-fashioned way when you can control outdoor devices with a remote control or even just your voice.

A helpful gadget like the Kasa Outdoor Smart Plug is an easy way to use landscape lighting, swimming pool pumps or holiday lights in a snap. It’s weather-resistant and has a Wi-Fi range of up to 300 feet. Our team’s product review expert, Ben Bradley, used a Kasa smart plug to keep his dogs safe.
