1) Connecting to Calibre while you have an ebook open on the device (I always make sure to be on the home page before connecting)
2) Reconnect to Calibre before your Kobo has properly digested the new ebooks in its database.
3) The database is not properly closed before the USB connection is finalized. This is easily diagnosed by seeing .sqlite-wal and .sqlite-shm files in the .kobo directory. Kobo is aware of this issue and it should be fixed in the next firmware release though my hopes of that happening Real Soon Now have long been dashed. This seems to happen more often when using the Sage or Elipsa.
