Journal Journal: Good news/Bad news: Kindle Fire 8HD 5
I was given a Kindle Fire 8HD for my birthday. It's a beautiful device. I love it.
That's the Good news.
The "bad news" is that it's supposed to come with Alexa, which I cannot get to work. At all.
The device is a Kindle Fire 8HD (7th Gen) running FireOS 5.4.0.0.
I've tried several things to get it to work, but it's just not going there.
I long-press the Home button and nothing happens. I've tried to go to Settings > Device Options, but there's no "Alexa" option to enable.
Does anyone have any experience with this sort of thing? It isn't exactly a show-stopper if Alexa never works, but if it's not going to work, I'm going to start looking for ways to remove Alexa-related software.
If it matters, I do not have a Spot or anything like it. This Kindle is it.
Suggestions would be appreciated.
