Answer: It isn't.
You should always have the Kindle on external (USB cord) power
**while updating** !!!
That means, if you haven't blocked OTA updates, it should be on external power
**even before turning it on** (in case it has a pending OTA update to install).
Reason:
There are millions of Kindles out there with aging batteries:

On the other subject:
**restarting**
You should always have the cable removed when
**restarting** the Kindle.
Some Kindle models, with certain firmware versions,
**can** restart with the cable connected, but most can't - -
So just unplug it is the general answer here.
