If you are running KOReader when you connect to calibre to send eBooks, they won't import when you eject. You would need to go back to Nickel. You can use NickelMenu to force an import of new eBooks. I don't know if you can connect to calibre and then eject to force an import or you have to add at least one eBook.

This is how it worked when I've added eBooks via calibre while running KOReader on my H2O. I've not does this anytime recently or with my Libra 2. One other thing I've never done is to add eBooks via calibre to my Kobo (running Nickel) and not eject from calibre afterwards. So I don't know if you should expect an import when ejecting from Windows. Are you doing a safely remove hardware and eject media or eject via Windows Explorer? If you are doing one, try the other.
