Hehe... good question



In any case, this works - you'll need some way to access the command line on the Kindle though, like SSH, or KUAL + KTerm or similar. Tested on Kindle Paperwhite; comments are inlined.

Code:
# delete any existing screenshots
[root@kindle root]# rm /mnt/us/screenshot_*.png
# take screenshot
[root@kindle root]# screenshot
# now do whatever you want
...
# the following command will paint the screenshot back on the screen: 
[root@kindle root]# eips -g /mnt/us/screenshot_*.png
