Is that the drill?

Correct

You may also want to look at NickelMenu so you can save the unplug/plugin step. Just use NickelMenu to trigger a USB connect and save some wear and tear on the USB cable/port.

I agree with not unplugging the cable until the connected screen disappears. I was rather surprised how long Windows can take to flush the write buffer to the device after the eject is done.

So the sequence becomes:

Eject, but don't pull the cable
Wait until the books have been imported and the home screen is displayed
Tap NickelMenu's icon and then the USB Connect menu item
Wait until all the calibre jobs have been finished
Eject and wait until back to the home screen
Unplug the cable

If you install NickelMenu, you can configure it to reconnect to USB without needing to unplug the cable at all.
