Find and share Kindle screenshots

Screenshots will be saved to the root directory of your Kindle storage. Unfortunately you can’t access the screen captures or screenshots directly on your Kindle. Instead you have to plug the USB cord into your Kindle and access them from a computer. Kindle screenshots can be found at the root directory. They are saved in PNG format. You can copy them from Kindle to your desktop, then use an image editor, such as Photoshop, to edit the Kindle screenshots on your laptop or desktop computer and share them from there. After that you can delete the screenshots from Kindle to reclaim the storage space.
