Then how come Kindle supports trickle-charging? I've felt the charger many times and it's still just moderately warm even after 3 hours of constant use.

As for the data corruption, Kindle shuts itself down before the voltage drops low enough to destabilize the CPU. That's why devices with empty batteries simply loose power immediately instead of getting more and more glitchy until massive data corruption occurs and the battery severely damages itself.
