Maybe this is specific to the Mac build of Calibre or some Mac-specific USB stuff but it certainly does not work as “advertised” here on the board, and never has (been using the H2O since 3.12.something). I have switched to "downloading" my Calibre books from Calibre server and that mostly solved all my problems, but this is far from a „just plug in and control everything“ kind of experience.
If you’re in for a no-frills-experience, either get a Kindle right away or only purchase from the Kobo store. It is a great device for reading but Calibre is, at least in my opinion, far from an ideal companion...

I have experienced similar problems with my Kobos and my MacBook - in fact, so often I bought a Tolino.
Subsequently, I discovered the issue was not with the Kobos but with the USB port on the Mac which I was using. That said, the Tolino handles better an "improper" ejection - just reconnect and eject again.
