It does look a little challenging, but having taken apart numerous laptops and a couple of iPods at work, I think it's probably easier than it looks in those pictures. Most cases like that have catches that will pop apart when CAREFULLY pried the right way. From the searches I've done, it looks like the Sony uses similar case latches, but the Kindle's metal backplate looks like a pain to keep from scratching or bending. From the take apart photos elsewhere on this site, the Sony does look easier to get into.
Nice pictorials on those sites though, iFixit has always been a good source of take apart info. And those plastic take apart tools like they show are really helpful, for other electronics take aparts as well.
