Looking for a new gen Reader

Hey guys, first post on this particular forum and I'm asking for help.

So I've owned a Sony PRS-950 for years and years. Loved the damned thing but it is starting to show it's age and I was looking between the Kobo Aura One and the Oasis 2. Mostly because I simply couldn't stand downgrading my reading area.

Now I've researched them a decent amount in the last few days but there are still a few questions I have that don't seem to be answered anywhere I've looked. Admittedly, this is the first time checking the forums so I can't say for certain if these questions have been answered yet or not.

How well do the Kobo and Kindle softwares handle serials? I happen to read a large number of stories online from Wordpress and other similar sites where authors tend to post a chapter at a time and require regular updates. With my Sony PRS-950 this is fairly simple as I just upload the new file and usually organize things by date. Newly updated files can be resumed from their previous page easily enough but there isn't anything like a progress indicator when looking through my library. How does the Kobo and Kindle software handle this type of reading? Can I update books like this via the "My Content" tools for Amazon?

I use Calibre almost exclusively for my library management with the only exception being the Amazon books I buy.
