Two points: I'm sure it can be done and I'm also sure it's not worth doing.
Since I don't have a Kindle I'm not going to try it but the only glue I've found that won't release when the right solvent is applied is that which melts the plastic & 'welds' the pieces together. And I've taken that apart by cutting thru the weld with a very thin-bladed saw, then used the same glue to re-weld it. That pretty much supposes you know what glue was used. (in most cases where I've taken glued pieces apart they were models that I'd assembled so yes, I did know what glue was used.) Without that you'd probably need a good chemistry lab-or lots & lots of trial & error. Maybe both. Like I said, doesn't seem worthwhile.
