If (like me) you're worried about wearing out or damaging the USB connector on your ereader my solution is to use a USB extension cable, so that you have two cables between your computer and your ereader. The main one is plugged into the back of the computer and the extension is plugged into that. Then I just unplug the extension cable from the main cable, wait a few moments for the Kobo to update its database, then plug it back in so that Calibre can update the series info/metadata.
I can't find it but there was another thread where someone asked this question and one of the responses was about some box that had a switch to disconnect and connect the USB but I think they said it wasn't reliable.
