Yeah, I have tried all these and they work pretty well. Good use of the Mediatek chipsets in these tablets and they make it great for gaming as well.

Wish there was a way to disable the power button, I've accidentally pressed it so many times and it is irritating.

Thank you for the show mode tip! New to Amazon fire tablet and couldn't figure out how to get out of it without restarting the tablet

Thanks you for saying "Alexa" so many times! You knew *exactly* what you were doing!

[merlinoregon]

Thanks so much! I just subscribed to your channel Cam.your a wealth of useful information for someone like me who virtually knows very little except what she is taught when grandkids visit and the situation has kinda stifled that for now.🤗😎looking forward to watching more videos and learning more about how to use my Kindle.

I think they intentionally said Alexa 100 times, lol Luckily my wake word is NOT that.

[princessmewtwo]

I have 4 Alexa wake words to remember now. Eco for my parents room, Alexa for downstairs device, Ziggy for my room and Amazon for my tablet lol

[maureengannaway]

Thank you. I just got my tablet and used your tips.

I really like Fire tablets. They are great media consumption devices which is all most people want from a tablet.

[SabrinaBree]

Thanks so much for this!, My tablet somehow kept ending up in "Show Mode", and I couldn't figure out exactly how to go back to my normal screen, . :)

I am struggling to find how to customize your library, . In the Home Screen I have the ‘for you’ and ‘home’ but it doesn’t say ‘library’ like the example. Is there still a way I can reorganize my library? Thx

[thehilltopescape]

I would never off Disney as an app for my children!

[CynthiaConaway]

Can you help with finding navigation/menu bar on the bottom? It disappeared.
