There have been several reports of newer Kindles that had less that 100MB of free space still installing firmware updates. At least one report was that a large file intended to chew up storage was removed by the update. One other report suggested was that books were being removed and re-added after the firmware update.

For my Clara HD with a 128GB µSD card, I had a very noticeable slowdown when the database exceeded the RAM size after I had added about 12,000 books.
