Thanks, so I did nothing wrong anyway. Now of course I do use the computer's eject option.

When you sideload books, the device shows a black "processing" screen when you disconnected. If you don't see that, it means you either didn't actually copy the books (I know I forget sometimes) or you put the books in a place that the device doesn't look for them (any directory starting with a dot).

This is not the case. ALL books I added are in the same directory named Digital Editions without a dot in front of it. With Adobe Digital Editions I see all 19 books I put into that directory, but the Reader keeps telling me that there are 14 new books ignoring the addition of the last five of yesterday morning. If there has been a black screen after ending the computer session I can't say for sure but I seem to remember that it occurred.

When the UI is shown, as you appear to have the old tiled home screen, there should be a tile with for the new books. Tapping that displays the book list and sorts it in "Recent" order. That puts the new books and recently read books first. If they don't show, tap the "Show" at the top of the list. This displays a list of filters. Selecting "All" or "Unread" should show the recently books. If the sort at the top of the list isn't "Recent", tap "Sort" and choose "Recent".
At this moment my wife is reading one of the books that do show so I can't verify immediately but I think I did already try these options. Anyhow, the reader still says it contains 14 new books while in fact the latest five making it 19 remain ignored. Fact is of course that this whole thread started because I couldn't get any book to show in the beginning, I must have triggered something by acident yesterday morning that activated the reader to show the first batch. I only wish I knew what it is that I did so I could do it again...

PS: I also tried to send one of those books for a second time to the reader with ADE but it correctly responded by saying that it's an error because the book is already in the reader. So there can be no doubt about that. The question remains why the reader itself sees only 14 of the 19 books in that directory. I must have skipped something in the procedure of adding them seems.
