Do you live in the USA?
Don't tell us (unless you are just venting), tell someone who can do something about it:
https://www.ftc.gov/
See link at upper right, "File a Consumer Complaint" ?
Tell them by filling out the on-line form that eventually links to.

While I appreciate this suggestion my question was actually really more basic.
Has anyone here tried talking to Amazon about this and explaining that they broke the device (in comparison: what happened after Apple bricked those iPad Pros? Weren't they exchanged free of charge?)

I have only heard of a few cases where a firmware update bricked a kindle. Most of them were determined to be something other than the update. So I don't think it is a real problem.
Did you brick your kindle after installing the latest firmware?

I can only go by what you write in your post.
I am unable to see over your shoulder or to channel into your mind, you must type what you are thinking.

= = = =

Not mentioned in this forum.

With only a single report, it is most likely a case isolated to that single device/user combination.

Any PW cannot withstand a lot of load . And that reboot could be due to a corrupted book. Try openingother book and report back!
BTW, Is the Kindle JB-ed one?

Try putting the file named:
DO_FACTORY_RESTORE
at the top of visible USB storage.
All capitals, no content, no filename extension.
re-boot.

If that does not fix it, the only way to downgrade that firmware version is by using the serial port.
You will probably need someone fluent in English to translate the directions for you.

I am not understanding open books fast and list 10-15 times. What do you mean by list?
Are you writing things down or trying to copy and paste from the book to a website?
