The echo shows have a neat feature called “ show and tell” and they work simply
by asking “Alexa, what am I holding in my hand?” Most times they are pretty
accurate. You do not need to do anything differently with them than a normal
regular echo dot. In some cases information be displayed on the screen,
however echo shows have a screen reader called voice view which is quite
similar to the iPhone’s voice over so there’s not much of al earning curve
there. You can watch videos other than prime on them.
Hope this was helpful.

Me again.
I just looked up "Amazon Show" and became overloaded when reading about
displays. I do not intend to use a device to control temperature or lock doors
or need to look at a clock, anything like that. I also do not want a device
that will require me to do anything in response to what shows on a screen.
I was thinking I would get a second device for another room but
one that could play movies, not just Prime, but Netflix too,and possibly Hulu
somewhere down the line.
Would that device be compatible with the Echo 4th generation I
already have? Would I talk to it like I talk to my other device?
I wonder if Amazon's customers with disabilities could answer
these questions and give me a honest good recommendation.
I'll see if the podcasts someone already recommended will cover
this, or maybe I will have to go to YouTube and let it squeeze hours out of the
rest of my day, but only after the dog and I get a proper walk!
