If it's cracked solder, then yeah, a reflow might fix it, especially if the Kindle suffered a recent drop to a hard floor that might've caused a minuscule crack in the solder.
You can also desolder the eMMC and test it using an ordinary SD card reader. (like
this).
But since you are considering this solution, just buy a new eMMC. It's not really expensive. At least, it's better than selling it off.
You can even get one from a Kindle with a cracked screen. But since they are cheap online, it might be even cheaper to simply buy an eMMC.
The part numbers are in the thread I linked to, and you can use the pictures in this blog post:

Edit: Contrary to what's known around here, eMMC replacements don't have to be the same exact make and model ... not even the same ball-out is required.
