Perhaps the simplest way would be an old-fashioned paper form - fill in when I update a book and tick off the devices when I update them.
What I do is Save to Disk to a local "master" directory. Then I just use robocopy batch files (stored on device) to sync changed files from the master directory to the device.

I use separate master directories for Kindle formats and EPUB.

For Kindle:
Code:
robocopy "%userprofile%\Dropbox\ebooks\kindle" "%~d0\documents" /s /xx /fft /dst /r:0 /w:0 /np /ndl

For Kobo or KOReader:
Code:
robocopy "%userprofile%\Dropbox\ebooks\epub" "%~d0\epub" /s /xx /fft /dst /r:0 /w:0 /np /ndl
Caveat, this method doesn't copy covers to Kindle so I use MOBI PDOC if I want my fanfics to have covers. No automatic KEPUB conversion either and you'll need to update metadata on Kobo database separately.
