Or what is the exact instruction to do that?
Is this Windows? If so, there are three ways you can eject. From calibre, from explorer, or from the icon in the notification area. They aren't all the same. The eject from calibre won't eject the device if something else is using it. The other two will display a message if the device is still in use. Unless a device job is running, calibre shouldn't block the eject done in these ways. Someone has stated there are differences between the two Windows ways of ejecting the device, but, I don't remember what.

I nearly always eject from within calibre. I would mainly use Windows if I am not running calibre, or something blocked the eject. And I usually use explorer to do the eject, but, have had real no issues when doing it from the USB icon. But, I have a feel that this is more likely to result in the device needing to be unplugged before it starts the post-eject processing.
