The Kindle is tested to certify with FCC and CE regulations so it is sufficiently shielded against interference in the home and workplace. The regulations also require that the Kindle be shielded against generating interference itself. The Kindle contains a cell phone so it has even more strenuous regulations regarding shielding.

If you decide to take your Kindle and put it next to a Tesla coil then sure, you're going to have some issues but in normal operation it will be fine. If you look at the various Kindle 3 teardown pictures or videos you'll see that nearly all the important components in the Kindle is shielded in small metal cans.

sirmaru, you need to wait for the replacement Kindle from Amazon before attempting to come up with any other situations or scenarios as to why your Kindle doesn't work. You've already gone through bad firmware, manufacturing defect in all/some Kindles and now EMI.
