There was definitely something wrong, as I:
- Registered my kindle.
- Connected it to the charger.
- Connected it to Wifi.
- Left it for half a day to charge and, hopefully, automatically download the update.
However, it didn't find an update by itself...
I restarted it a couple of times. Then I decided to manually transfer the update again. After I connected it, I saw that the file was not there anymore. So I copied it again. Afterwards, the option was made available, so the update worked.
Maybe it needed something like 100% charge (on my first try, it had roughly half).

It has varied over the years with the firmware version, but yes, it does check the amount of charge held by the battery.
And there is a minimum amount below which it will not update.
To determine what was going on, in the search function, enter:
;dm
The semi-colon is part of the command.
That will produce four new documents on your kindle.
Look through the 'system' one towards the end, to see if the process entered any information why it did not update.

I see that Amazon is using the same term.
Although it is wrong, it is not the "root" folder, it is: /mnt/us/<Visible Top of USB storage>.
The vary first
"/" is the root folder.
So "Highest level of visible USB storage" is always correct, regardless of PC system or viewpoint.
