From what I read, I guess you want to know the things that can seriously damage/brick your kindle - so you know what to avoid doing.

Again Right!

The "good" news is that problems in scripts and careless messing over SSH can really screw up necessary files or even filesystems. With a single wrong dd-command you can erase both kernels and all data.

I've never heard of "dangerous" webpages but if the browser has security issues, they could be a problem. I'm thinking executed scripts of funny letters in download filenames.

The "bad" news is that - like geekmaster said - the freescale mx50-line has a USB-Downloader mode in hardware so that even with everything else lost, you can still put the Kindle into that mode and then use custom mfgtool-profiles to access the kindle, load a flashing tool and recover things.

I'm at that point currently, myself: None of the kernels load and even fastboot (which normally is safe as hell) doesn't work.
This is also a situation in which the serial port could allow you to recover the system in ways impossible using other means.

For me a brick is acceptable till the point, that i need to - for example: open up the device cover and connect to mysterious serial ports in order to regain control over my device.
In which boundaries do i need to keep my developments, when i want to avoid situation like yours?
