Not really. 802.11b/g uses 2.4GHz which is the part of the ISM unlicensed bands. So long as you don't interfere with ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) usage you can generally do whatever you like so long as you stay within the defined limits for power output.
Microwave ovens operate at 2.45GHz and do generate a large amount of interference so the Kindle being affected by it isn't particularly unusual. It all depends on the exact antenna and radio chipset used in the device. 2.4GHz video senders are even worse than microwaves as they'll stomp over a wide range of frequencies.
