Yes but you cannot call out to your Fire tablet from across the room. Have to hold the Home button to activate, unless they add an option to put it in 'listen' mode. Also it remains to be seen which Alexa skills will be available on Fire tablets. For example, Alexa on Fire TV will not read Kindle books or play Audible content. And you might want Alexa on the tablet to launch apps, open books and video etc. but I don't think it will confer such 'voice control', at least in the first iteration.
