I've managed to reboot a few times before it imported books, and also had cases where calibre copied the books but didn't update the database due to some problem.

If the database is corrupted beyond use, the books won't import.
But if the database isn't completely corrupted, the should get imported after reboot just like they would after a proper disconnect. Of course, if you were expecting calibre to put those books into shelves, that won't happen until next time calibre syncs metadata, so it might *look* like they didn't import.

And if you really did reboot without ejecting, there might be both database and filesystem corruption that may or may not get fixed at reboot, and even if it is fixed, the (partially) copied books might be lost by the filesystem repair.
