Its what the title says how do you anyways? I've looked all over the app store for a screenshot app but no luck so if theres any way to do it manually that would be great

Press power and down volume at same time.
A small piece of tape over each will help you to find them quickly.
good luck.

Does this help?

I have a first generation Kindle Fire but if I happen to get a Kindle Fire HD I'll remember that

Aaahhh crud. Back to google i go!

I've got the HD and i can get screen shots but it is not easy . I usually only try it when im about to leave or don't care if i do.

Sonic:

The 1st Gen Kindle Fire takes a couple of steps to do a screen shot and you need to be on a computer to do it. Here are two websites that can explain it. I have also copy and pasted their steps.

This website has a picture of what the steps look like:

All Kindle Fire Tablets

You can take screenshots from all Kindle Fire tablets using Eclipse, which is the standard desktop developer tool for Android.

Connect the Kindle Fire tablet to your development computer as described in Setting Up Your Kindle Fire Tablet for Testing.

In Eclipse, from the Window menu, select Open Perspective > Other... > DDMS.

Select the Kindle Fire tablet, and click the camera icon. (If the tablet isn't shown, from the Window menu, select Navigation > Show View Menu > Reset adb.)

The Device Screen Capture window displays the current screen as shown on the tablet. If the device screen saver is on, the window shows what would be on the screen if the screen saver was not running.

Device Screen Capture Window

Save the screen by clicking Save.

When you are finished taking screenshots, click Done.

OR

Now this one I have no clue what this SDK and JDK are, but here is the website with pictures for these steps and I recommend you go to that website to follow the steps.

Here is that website:

If you want to take screenshots of the Kindle Fire, you still can. It's a fairly involved process, but once it's set up, taking screenshots is a breeze.

Install JDK and Android SDK
Step 1: Download and install the Java Development Kit (JDK) from Oracle.
Step 2: Download and install the latest Android Software Development Kit.
Step 3: At the end of the Android SDK installation, choose to start the SDK Manager.
Step 4: By default, the "Android 4.0.3 (API15)" package is checked for installation. Make sure to select the "Android 2.3.3 (API10)" package as well and that the "Google USB Driver package" is also checked under "Extras." If you're not going to be using the Android SDK with Ice Cream Sandwich, you can elect not to install Android 4.0.3 (API15).

Part II - Install USB Driver

Step 1: Go to Start, then type "cmd" in the search box. Instead of hitting the Enter key, hit, Ctrl+Shift+Enter. This will launch the command prompt with administrative privileges.

Step 2: To add the Kindle Fire to the USB driver file, type:
notepad c:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver\android_winusb.inf
Hint: copy the text above and right-click on the command prompt window and select "paste."

Step 3: At the beginning of the [Google.NTx86] and [Google.NTamd64] sections, add the following lines:
;Kindle Fire
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1949&PID_0006
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_1949&PID_0006&MI_01
Then Save the file.

Step 4: In Notepad, open C:\Users\username\.android\adb_usb.ini, where username is your Windows user name. On a new line, add the following text:
0x1949
Save the file and exit Notepad.

Step 5: Plug the Kindle Fire into a USB port on your computer and allow Windows to install drivers. All the drivers but one, should install correctly.

Step 6: Open up Device Manager and you'll see the Kindle listed under Other devices with an exclamation mark inside a yellow triangle. Right-click on it and select Update Driver Software.

Step 7: Choose "Browse my computer for driver software" and browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver then click "Next."

Step 8: At the Windows Security warning prompt, select "Install this driver software anyway." Once finished, you'll get a confirmation screen that shows that the device driver for the "Android Composite ADB Interface" was installed. Install device driver anyway


Take Screenshots

Step 1: On your computer, click Start, then in the search box, type C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\tools\ddms.bat and hit Enter. You can also navigate to it using Windows Explorer and double-click on ddms.bat.

Step 2: When your Kindle Fire appears in the top, left-hand box, click on it to highlight it. If it doesn't appear right away, try resetting adb by going to Actions, then selecting "Reset adb."

Step 3: Hit Ctrl+S to take a screen capture.

Step 4: The Device Screen Capture window will pop up with your screen capture, allowing you to refresh, rotate, save, or copy it.

That's it. The next time you want to take a screenshot, just launch ddms.bat again. You might also want to create a shortcut for ddms.bat on your desktop or taskbar, so you don't have to go looking for it every time.

Wow, uhmmm, yea, well uuuhhh, Good Luck with this Sorry, but these are the only ones I found.

My personal recommendation is to use a camera or your phone's camera and take a picture of your screen.

Yep thats about the same thing i could find. Seems very complicated. So like martin said, good luck with that. Lol. Hope u can find an easier way but this looks to be the only way to do it
