Feature Request: Auto-eject wireless devices on Calibre shutdown

ManfredWerner · 02-20-2026, 03:33 AM

Regarding my reported and recently fixed bug (https://bugs.launchpad.net/calibre/+bug/2141994) – thank you very much for the quick resolution. I would like to propose a new feature request:

When using the wireless device driver with a connected device (e.g., a Kindle Paperwhite with KoReader), closing Calibre without manually clicking "eject device" leaves the connection ungracefully terminated on the Kindle side. It would be highly beneficial if Calibre automatically executed the "eject device" command upon closing. This would ensure a clean disconnect, even if the user forgets to do it manually.

Since I consider this a feature rather than a bug, I decided to post it here instead of opening a bug report for this.

Thank you and best regards,
Manfred
