Not sure how to achieve that, probably a hair dryer, maybe applied at the back to avoid damaging the eink system...

To apply heat to adhesives for these kinda mobile device teardowns and repairs, we professionals use heat guns. They are relatively inexpensive tools found at virtually any hardware store.
You would use the heat gun on a lower setting if you need to be careful. You always wave the gun back and forth to avoid concentrating the heat in one spot. Apply heat, peel adhesive, apply again, peel some more, apply again, peel some more, until finally it starts to give. When meeting resistance, warm it up again.
If you've never done mobile device repairs before, be prepared to break things and accept your mistakes. It WILL happen.
