alexa, quit showing me suggestions!!!!!!!
Update - There are reviewers out there who claim you can turn off the suggestions. When I first go the device I went to the "Home and Clock" settings, turned EVERYTHING off, and I still get the alexa suggestions all the time. One person also claims to have a full-screen clock displayed. When my review was posted, I received a phone call from an amazon support person, and he agreed there is NO way to turn off the alexa suggestions and he also agreed there is NO way to display a full-screen clock.

I have the show5 and I really like it. I have turned off the notifications but I still get the annoying alexa suggestions at the bottom of the screen. On the show5, at least the alexa suggestions are in small print and I can pretend they are not there as I enjoy my large clock. On the show8, all you get is a small clock in the upper left corner - no way to change it and since the screen is bigger, the mandatory alexa suggestions are in bigger font. The good news - it was up and running in about 2 minutes and amazon music sounds good on it. The bad news is, do I really want to keep it? I really like the large clock face on the show5 and it seems ridiculous I have NO clock options on the show8.
