That is looking to me like it is more of a problem with behavior of new operating systems and filesystems, as much as Calibre. The problem seems to be that the Kobo is unplugged from a PC before all files have been closed on the Kobo's flash drive.

For people using Linux I know that this is more likely to be a problem now because the new filesystem (ext4) does not guarantee that all data is written to disk within 5 seconds like ext3 did.

I don't use Windows 7, but I wonder if the same is similar there.

It will be great to hear if a strict practice of ensure a clean unmount of the Kobo fixes this problem.
