It's called Show Mode, and it's coming as a free software update for current generation Fire HD 8 and Fire HD 10 tablets. Like the Echo Show, the new mode serves up full-screen visuals to complement voice responses from Alexa. Without touching your tablet, you can ask Alexa to see trending news, the weather report, calendars, camera feeds and more.

Aside from the software update -- it'll start rolling out on July 2 -- Amazon is also introducing the Show Mode Charging Dock, a docking station for current generation Fire HD 8 and Fire HD 10 that includes a cover that magnetically adheres to the dock, fixing your device in place on the angled stand.
