I'll use the safe eject function from Calibre to be on the safe side.
There is indeed a safe ejection option in the system tray in windows 10 but it's not working. Always unable to eject the kobo safely.
I tried it about 10 times with calibre last night and it's still functioning perfectly.
Seems to be a bug to me as I've never experienced this with a usb drive. Not even with windows 2000 where I never used the safe ejection option.
When I think back it all started when I installed and started the kobo desktop tool. I removed it as it doesn't have any function for me at all.

As to the recommendation for safe ejecting, it all really depends on what is happening. If you pull the cable out while the data is being written to the device, there will be problems. If you wait for a few minutes after copying those files, it will probably be OK as any caches will probably be flushed. The safe eject makes sure no device is currently using it and should do a flush for any cache involved and make sure the file system is closed cleanly. Nine times out of ten, just pulling the cable out will be OK. It's the tenth that causes the problem.
