What happens is that the eBook(s) get processed and added to the database. The reconnect upload the metadata so you can have things like series and collections.
If you go to the NickelMenu thread in the Kobo forum, you can install it and find out the configuration to allow you to reconnect your Kobo to computer without having to unplug the USB cable. I use it to double connect with only plugging in the USB cable once per session.
Before you first plug in your Kobo, you are best to go to the home screen and then plug it in.
Another thing to do it install Kobo Utilities and set it up to backup your Kobo database when you plug in the Kobo so if for some reason it gets corrupted, you'll have a recent copy to restore.
And finally, install Reading List so you can automatically mark which eBooks you have on your Kobo. You will have to setup a custom Y/N column. Also with Reading List, you can set it up so you can mark eBooks so when you plug in your Kobo they will get sent right away without you having to remember which eBooks you want to send to your Kobo.
