As with most devices these days, you can take screenshots on the Kindle Oasis. It's not something I actually expected to be possible until I discovered someone else posting about it. With every Android or iPhone device, I always have to find and remember the special button combination.
Depending on the device, the button combinations aren't reliable for 100% of the time, due to various reasons. Sometimes the button combination is difficult to press because of the awkward position of the buttons to each other. Sometimes the combination is just unusual and super easy to forget.
Kindle Oasis 2017 is none of that. It's super easy. You simply touch the upper right and lower left of the screen at the same time. The screen will quickly flicker. No other immediate indication occurs.
The screenshots are saved to the main folder on the Kindle Oasis as png with the date and time as the file name, such as "screenshot_2019_02_06-0700.png". When you plug your USB into Kindle Oasis and a computer, you'll see the png files interlaced between similarly named .txt that describe the png file. I'm not sure the value of these extra txt files.
The png files can be copied/moved from the Kindle Oasis to the computer with normal Windows File Manager interaction. My previous tip was possible due to this functionality.
