device or emulator? With ics devices you can hit the close button + volume (or home button on htc) to capture the screen. If you have dropbox on the device and pc they'll auto transfer to your pc if they're synched. emulator, do a print screen (usually Ctrl + Print Scrn) and paste into an image editor. With both options you'll need to crop and resize the images to Amazon requirements.
