Copy some DRM free books to that location and then eject the device from your PC.
The Kobo should no longer display a Connected and Charging screen; instead it will briefly show a bar progressing across the screen as it imports the new books (ie adds them to the Kobo database).

I created a 'books' folder at the root of the Kobo drive, dragged several DRM free (public domain) books into this folder.
I've been a bit confused about the screen I see on the Libra after ejecting it from the computer, using all the normal eject hardware methods, then checking that the drive is no longer seen by the computer. The screen on the Libra doesn't change. It still tells me to be certain to eject it before disconnecting. As I HAVE ejected it, I ignore the screen and press the on button; sometimes I've needed to do a long press to get the reader to switch on.
I've also wondered if books have spent time being 'indexed' as they would on a kindle, but there seems no way to check this. (On a kindle you do a search for random letters, searching everywhere, but it seems you can only search book titles and dictionaries on a kobo, not the entire text.) But it has been so long since I put a public domain book on the reader that it would have indexed by now.
Does the screen after ejecting indicate that the reader doesn't seem to realise it's been ejected?
