Kindle Photocopy

memobug · 07-02-2009, 01:49 AM

I discovered that photocopies of the Kindle screen work pretty darn well for Fair Use purposes. I had a newspaper article with my name in it that I wanted a copy of: I popped the Kindle DX on the copier, hit Print and wound up with a sideways copy!

Don't forget to press the Aaa key and lock the DX screen orientation first.

No idea if "Scan to PDF" works. I'll leave that to the next person.

E-Ink screens do photocopy and scan well, but don't forget that the Kindle has a screenshot maker. As first documented at Reversing Everything, Alt-Shift-G creates a GIF of the screen bitmap. I have not seen many KDX screenshots, but I think this still works.
