Kindling temperature is the temperature at which the reaction is fast enough to proceed without further addition of heat from the outside. The kindling temperature for many substances varies and often depends on how finely divided the substance is. When the heat released during a slow reaction remains and raises the temperature of the reacting substances to the kindling temperature, spontaneous combustion may occur. A common example of such a reaction that has caused many tragic fires in peoples' homes is when rags containing paints, paint thinners, or lacquers are stored without enough circulation of air to carry off the heat produced by the slow oxidation of the solvents by oxygen in the existing air: the heat of reaction accumulates and raises the temperature of the system above the kindling temperature, and spontaneous combustion occurs.

Without looking at the data sheet for my kindle: Usually up to 80°C should not leave damage after cooling down again. It should work between 5°C and 50°C.

Different materials ignite and burn at different temperatures. Take paper, it burns at a low temperature. Steel takes more heat to burn than paper. The temperature it takes to burn something is the kindling temperature.
