When you read what I told, you see that i tell you exactly the same.
You can damage a Lithium-ion battery if you use it completely to empty but the cirquit in the reader prevents you to do that.
So again,when the device shut off, there is at least 10% reserve in the battery, hence:
it is not empty and therefore will not be damaged.
Your quotes are guidelines for just plain battery's without any device and without any cirquit.
So if you would take the battery out of the device and you put a lamp or something on it and completely empty it,that could be ruin the battery.
Inside the device it never happens,the cirquit prevents it.
So you can safely read until it stops.
When you plug it in after that to an external device like a computer you will see that it comes directly to life with full light, why ?
1.because you plug it in to a device that powers it, but 2.:because there is enough power left in the battery.
From Kobo itself:
"If and when the battery will die while reading, the screen will remain on that page. It will appear that the eReader is frozen but it simply needs to be recharged."
