A few days ago it has been presented the new Fire HD 8 and with it the way that will be incorporated little by little in Amazon tablets, the assistant Alexa. The new Fire HD 8 will be the first tablet that has this virtual assistant natively and although on September 21 it will not be active, it will be in the next update.
But, our question goes beyond questioning the assistant in this model or question this model but if it will really be something that readers will appreciate or not really What do you think?
Alexa is becoming more and more useful, being its listening function the most powerful so far. If Alexa is really combined with the world of reading, the differences are substantial compared to other products, but that would have to be decided by the Amazon developers.
Alexa will be on the new Fire HD 8, but will it really be effective?
However, the development of Alexa is not like the development of Siri, in this case part of the development is also left in the hands of the developers themselves, so Alexa can quickly have reading functions, although not yet.
On the other hand, devices with Alexa are not in Europe yet, only in the United States, so even if a librarian Alexa arrives, it will take time to reach European devices. In any case, among the tablets with virtual assistant, eReaders that read you audiobooks or interactive ebooksIt seems that the devices that only show the ebook are going to end or have their days numbered. New, more powerful devices with more new features are coming, but in this context Will the new Fire HD 8 be the queen of the market or maybe not? What do you think?
