It might even be possible to just disable (brick) certain functions of the SoC -
What occurs first to me is screwing around with the programming of the various internal clock chains. (set one or more to "self destruct" speeds)
Should not need the high energy requirements of a microwave oven, just use scripting that gains (probably kernel mode) access to those control registers.

Scripting? Well, I suppose a script could use dd (like the eink algorithmic art scripts) to write a custom kernel, then use kexec to launch it.
The OP was not clear on this matter -- perhaps he is looking for a SOFTWARE solution that can permanently brick kindles, so he can install it in a kindle virus package.
