It says it's possible to put Kindle on the light bulb for a couple of minutes (I'm not 100% you could find some of these in US but in other countries incl. mine they are still widely used). After that glue becomes much softer and might be easily removed. I'm gonna follow this guide and will provide a report and some extra tips for those in my shoes. Again, thank you very much!
