What a joke. Just bought a Fire HD8 Plus, for the express purpose of using it like an Echo, controlling smart plugs in the bedroom where the new $40 docking station is, and occasional social media access. After cost of tablet, dock, and compatible smart plugs ($60+), this garbage won't even open. It did once for a millisecond and then nothing. Borderline scam having this as a selling point for so many things that are of course sold by Amazon, and doesn't even function. 🖕Amazon.
