see screenshots directly on the Kindle PW

[TReZE]

Hello, i would like to take a screenshot: somehow can see the saved image on the Kindle.
This is possible: when you connect the Kindle via USB and gets into a folder called "images" contained in "documents" ... but I'd do this directly without having to connect the Kindle to a PC.
I also know that this can be done in the Kindle 3 using "launchpad.ini", so maybe someone knows a method similar to the Kindle PW.

Greetings (sorry for my English).

I don't know the answer to your question, but I am curious.... If the screen shot is going to look exactly like the page you just took the screenshot of, what is the point of being able to view the screenshot on the Kindle?

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.

# 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

So, KUAL through I put my kindle PW an application of drawing and writing some notes in mathematical language and that is why I would serve the plicacion to directly see the screenshots.
