Well, firstly, they work there, so it is highly unlikely that they don't know what voids the warranty and what doesn't.
Just to check, I went to
www.kobo.com and scrolled down and hit "Help" and "Contact Us" and "Chat" so I asked them, and the guy said "Hold on a moment while I ask this to my supervisor," and a minute later he returned, saying "Yes, we highly recommend not manually updating our eReaders, as it may cause permanent damage and is not covered by accidental warranty."
So, if you open up an eReader and then accidentally break something, that is not covered under your warranty.
And that is the very reason why I said over and over again:
"PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK!"
