I always eject if I remember, but every now and then it gets yanked or I thought I ejected and don't realize until I unplug and get the "you forgot to eject" warning. Usually it's not a big deal, but I do occasionally see file system damage remnants afterwards, and about 1 time in 5 the database gets corrupted and I have to restore it from the calibre extended driver automatic backup or log out and log back in and start over fresh.

Rebuilding the database from scratch isn't too big a deal except I've got half my library on my kobo and it takes about a half hour to scan and rebuild the database. I'd much rather restore it if I can just to avoid the delay.

It is annoying either way though if I forgot to back up my reading positions. I'd do that automatically but it takes too long, so I do it manually when I know there are big changes.
