If you're looking to use this to replace an existing Alexa speaker or an Alexa display, this probably won't do. The best feature of the dock w/ the HD8 is the charging. The speakers and mic are quite weak on the HD8, I would suggest getting an external speaker. The HD8 also seems to have some input lag when responding and executing commands. The movie/music playing features seems to have some issues on the software voice command side.
The HD8 of course is a great value tablet. It's a good size and weight for basic media consumption, especially if you watch a lot of Amazon Prime Video, listen to Audible, or read Kindle books.
tl;dr: should you get this HD8 and the show dock? Probably not if you have an existing Alexa speaker/display. If you don't and don't have an existing Kindle device, then go for it.
I absolutely love my hd8 with show mode docking station. I was lucky enough to get mine at the low prime day price but I will buy more at full price.
