It generally isn't a good idea to do that rapid on/off cycling for electronics anyway so don't do it :P
Actually, the on/off switch for Kindle is just a software switch (i.e. it could be programmed to be the Next Page button or even to be a "reset to factory defaults" button). It's not a hardware switch. The only damage you could do by flicking it on and off like that would be caused by physical wear-and-tear.
