When you connect a Kobo to calibre, it runs several jobs. See the attached image. I think most of the list is pretty self-explanatory. The Backing up Kobo device database takes no time since it was already run on my first connect to calibre today.

In this case, the important job is Send metadata to device. The first connect send the books which are imported and their database entries created. The second connect is then able to store the series and other metadata in the database.

You will see the job counter in the lower right corner of the main calibre window. Wait until it goes back to Jobs: 0 before safely ejecting. calibre should prevent an eject while jobs are running but some people love ejecting outside of calibre.
