Just as well, it isn’t even worth $30 IMO. Mine has been a royal PITA from day one. It has never completely shut down the suggestions, and it still toggles the backlight on/off every few minutes as it tries to force more suggestions on me. Good thing Bezos’s rocket didn’t use the Show 5 OS or he would be lost in space…

About the only thing it does well is show lyrics when listening to music. But as an alarm clock or bedside clock the constant on/off of the screen will probably disturb your sleep.
