"Tap the upper right corner and the lower left at the same time. Screen flashes, screenshot saved to the root."
Scott should know; he owns more Kindles than anyone except Jeff Bezos.

Is this a Mac OS X hint? Did this get posted to the wrong forum or something?

It's in the "Other hardware" category. There are people who might want to know how to do this. ---

Thanks for the tip. For one, I appreciate having an "Other Hardware" category.

Yay clutter. People also might have car radios that work with iPods. Can we expect hints about those, too?

I'm confused. This is MAC OS X Hints, right? Why the heck do we care about a tip for a Kindle? Wrong website, perhaps? What's next? Tips on how to use Surface?
Take a screenshot on a Kindle Paperwhite
No, not Surface but the next hint could be about Linux.
Stop being so grouchy everyone.
Thanks for this hint.

It would be different if this were for the Kindle app on IOS, but its not. Its for something that has 100% no bearing on Mac or OS X. Rather than asking me to not be so grouchy, the moderator should ensure that hints are relevant to the site. Otherwise, there's nothing to say there won't be Surface or Nexus hints, etc.

I have to agree, kirk, please reconsider this policy. It is a mistake IMHO (and I am not grouchy just because I have a different opinion about something) to include a catch all "Other" basket because it weakens the value of the site, it does not enhance it.
If it were related to the Apple eco-system at all it might be worth posting here.
Poor choice. Lets just move on and avoid this in the future, please. The real value about this site is that it is Mac OS X (of which iOS is a subset) and lets me search only on geek info for that knowledge base, otherwise I might as well cast a much larger net and search using google or bing.

Should have posted "How to take a screenshot on a Kindle and transfer it to your OS X running Mac" =) ---

The "Other Hardware"category has been around for awhile, so that's not an issue. A post about how to use a Logitech keyboard on a Mac would be an example of the type hint that would fit here.

I'm disappointed to see this non apple tip on macworld.com/macosxhints.com. If I wanted to search other hardware tips and ideas I could simply use google. I now have two questions for anyone/guru's out there: is there a way to filter the results to only see apple tips, and second, does anyone know of alternative sites that do what this site used to.

This comment has nothing at all to do with OS X, iOS, Apple hardware or how other hardware interacts with any of these. It has no place at all on this site. Google "Kindle paperwhite screenshot" if you want to find out how to do that. ---

This is stupid! This is not an OS X Hint. iOS hints and tips are relative because iOS is relative and derived from OS X. Kindle is not!

I think I figured out why this was posted… they want us to realize that even the Kindle is knocking off Apple just like Samsung. "Tap the upper right corner and the lower left at the same time. Screen flashes, screenshot saved to the root." Funny how similar that is to IOS devices where you hold the top button and home button for a second and the screen flashes. May not be the upper right and lower left corners, but the concept is strikingly similar albeit implemented a bit different. The screen flashing is a solid knock off though.

Everyone else using visual feedback methods to confirm some user-initiated action has been undertaken better back off right now. Bloomin' rip-off merchants!
