I do have the Kobo Aura connected to power (but hardly any idea if it's charging or not). Does this screen mean that I should press the power button next? And for how long? I tried to just briefly touch it to see if any magic happened, but no — it seems to be content in just displaying that picture for all eternity, and that's it.

I'm sure I'm missing something absurdly simple, or, otherwise, you would certainly mention this screen...
The image you posted seems to indicate connecting to a computer using a USB cable and then pressing the power button. I'd suggest leaving it charging for a hour or so and then trying the power button. You may also want to try holding the power button for 30 seconds or so to make sure your Kobo is forced off and then releasing and pushing it again.
