This is why there is a You can Safely Eject message . The data to be written may be buffered on your PC, so control can be returned sooner. The buffer continues at whatever speed (and error correction) as needed.

It is still BEST to wait for the device to also show it is done processing (My Kobo takes about 20 seconds AFTER the SAFE message to Start 'Processing' NEW books) and stabilizes on the standard user screen.
FWIW not only are books being transfered, but I think Calibre also does an update of the metadata.calibre speedup file if that is what you use. Mine is 500K for 50 books on my Aura2
