I haven't had much success with the Kindle app on my iphone but I can't tell if that is simply because I have to email it to the device or if it is because of how the Kindle software handles newly added books. But at least I can return the Kindle in a relatively painless process at a brick and mortar store.

Just my personal experience with serials. If the new segment is added to the other segments so you effectively have a updated book this will work as suggested by Barryem and you can download the updated book to replace your previous copy. OTOH, if the new segment shows as a new book, it will not be added to the original book and you will end up with a mass small ebooks such as Quantum Entanglement part 1, Quantum Entanglement part 2, Quantum Entanglement part 3, etc. Unless you edit them into a single book, this gets a bit messy and wasteful of space. Sadly, since the second choice is easier, that's the route commonly used.
After having been disappointed a couple of time when the author moved on to other ventures and left a serial incomplete, my current policy is that I don't buy a serial until all the segments have been published.
