Thanks, everyone!

The screenshots are stored on your computer in the root directory of the Paperwhite as text files. You have to connect your Paperwhite to your computer to see them.

I found this great blog that covers a lot of tips and basics. I will just post the ones new to me here:

Homescreen/Library Navigation – It’s not very obvious but you can tap the little page number on the homescreen to bring up a Go To option to quickly jump to a page or letter in the alphabet.

Skip Articles/Sections in Periodicals – When reading periodicals you can quickly jump from article to article by swiping up on the screen to go forward and swiping down to go back.

Image Zoom – Images in books can be zoomed in if you hold down on them.

Panning Tables – Sometimes you’ll come across a table in a book that if you hold down it will bring up a panning option where on you can pan around the screen to get a better look.

Searches – When running a search, there’s a list next to the search bar that lets you have the option of choosing where to search from, including My Items, Kindle Store, Dictionary, or Wikipedia.

Homemade Magnetic Covers – If you already have a cover for your Kindle Paperwhite, you can simply stick a small magnet in the lower right corner to make use of the auto sleep, auto wake feature.

Also, if you simply want to know if the screenshot worked, then you don't need to connect the Kindle to the Computer. If successful you will see a full-refresh page flash. That is the only indicator that the screenshot worked.

They are stored in 2 files, a png image file, and a text file with information about it.
