Thanks!
Yes.

The KoboTouch and KoboTouchExtended drivers have an option, "Do not treat replacements as new books." Barring a change to the author or title (which will change the path and result in a duplicate book), it'll update the book in place and preserve your reading position.

But this doesn't update the table of contents in the book. So you'll also want Kobo Utilities to use the "Update ToC" option.
