You can brick it mostly accidentally when trying something untested or when just experimenting with something new. Also in Touch case, there was cases of "self bricking", when /var /local/ went full by itself (probably some firmware bug).
Can you be more precise?
Can i brick it by just executing a Shell script?
Or reading the wrong book?
Opening the wrong web page?
Or do i need to do things like flashing custom kernels?

So I believe you could find way how to brick Kindle forever, but you don't want definitely do it.

That sounds good

I think that the quickest and easiest way to brick a kindle forever is to cook it in a microwave oven until it releases its "magic smoke".
Thats a thing you can do with every device, so its a boring way to brick it.

My motivation in asking this:
I want to be as free as possible and so i want not do things that will brick it, instead of doing only things, that will not brick it.
But therefor i need to know, what i need to do to brick it.
