the reason is that sometime, I am copying something to my device and I start calibre. the device will be immediately passed offline then online again, but the copy will fail a this point.

also, if I start calibre with the device connected, calibre will hang until it has scan my device for ebook. that can take some time and be annoying if I need to just locate a book or some simple manipulation that does not concern the device

thanks for the help

You can disable the Device Driver in Preferences: Plugins
The gotcha is you have to go there to re-enable.
If you don't need driver features. Sharing Icon: Connect to folder
The 'Eject' item will be available on the Folder Device icon when connected
