There is software in every USB device manufactured that controls how currents transmitted via the USB cable through the USB plugs ist handled (I even wrote “implementation of USB on the side of the device”). I am sorry if my use of the word “driver” was misleading, but I am definitely talking about code *within* the ereader software, not drivers that manufacturers write as add-ons to general computer operating systems.
Again: please refer to the post I quoted.
tl;dr: User said that he had problems like I did with Kobo not ejecting properly on Mac sometimes, thereby not recognizing books added to device (especially if added via calibre, calibre sometimes does not “let go” of connection). Problem is on the side of the Mac. We suspect that other devices do not eject properly sometimes. But other devices have no problems, still process added data, database does not corrupt, like with Kobo. So we think that there is something that Kobo could do to prevent this from happening.
