What Terisa said is correct. This is actually a cheat. If you manually sideload and replace a book, the device will remove everything about the book from the internal database and add it as a new book. This means you lose the reading status, bookmarks etc. The KoboTouch driver in calibre does some fiddling in the database to prevent this. This is useful if the purpose of replacing the book is if you are fixing text in the book. But, it doesn't work if you change the structure of the file including the ToC. If you are doing this, you can need to delete the book before resending it, either using the device or from calibre.
