In the meantime, the Reader documentation should be specific about how to transfer files by stating that you should check the status to make sure that your files are finished transferring. Then you should close the application in order for the status on the Reader to change.
Following that line of thought, if the application is smart enough to show a symbol if transfers are in progress, then it should be smart enough to warn you with a dialog if you try to close the app before the transfer is done. Then it's no longer the user's burden to remember to check the status before closing.

It would be nice if the Reader screen when connected showed either:
* "Transfer in progress: Do not disconnect cable." or
* "Reader is connected, but not transferring data. Okay to disconnect cable."
depending on the Reader status.
