Tuesday Tech Tip: How to take screenshots on Kindles
Kindle (formerly known as the Kindle Touch). Press and hold the Home button and then tap anywhere on your screen. As with the Paperwhite, you’ll need to connect to a computer to retrieve the screenshot.
Kindle Keyboard (also Kindle 3 and DX). Press Alt-Shift-G on the keyboard. Pics are stored in the Documents folder. Again, connect to a computer to get to them.
Read all the ways and see a video for the Kindle Paperwhite @ LifeHacker.com.
