Before JSWolf comes in with the "just downgrade to 4.30," here's the ones I've found:

a) Reboot the device after the import process runs. Alternately, wait a few minutes before re-connecting to give import time to finish its thing; I've taken to reading one chapter of a book as that seems long enough.

b) Keep an epub (not kepub) on the device. Open it immediately prior to connecting. When an epub is open the filesystem can unmount itself far more neatly.

your mileage may vary, but I've been doing both of these these and haven't encountered any issues.

and of course, set up Kobo Utilities to backup your db on connection. That's your best insurance.
