- Connect the device for the configured columns and fetch the status.
- Eject the device
- Repeat the above for each device.

I haven't tried it, but that should work. A way to partly automate this is to take copies of the configuration file and replace it before starting calibre and connecting each device. You could wrap starting calibre in a script to replace the file before starting.

I have thought about adding this this to the plugin, but, I haven't really had a need. And I think you are the first to suggest it. I'll put it on my TODO list to have a look and see how easy it is. But, it isn't likely to happen any time soon.
Thank you again for the quick answer; the solution is OK.

However, in the family we have 4 Kobo glo and it is difficult to manage like this.
