How to automatically update the epubs on my ebook reader

I use Calibre 5.44 on windows 10 x64 with the latest updates of windows.
My ebook reader is a Pocketbook Touch HD.

I have all my ebooks in Calibre, use Calibre to edit them, and then send them to my ebookreader (connect using a USB Cable).
However, sometimes I have missed something in an ebook (eg a writing mistake, or a grammatic error or changing a font-family...etc), and then I have to go back and change it in Calibre. Now, the version on Calibre is different from the version on my ebook reader. Normally, I delete the old version on the ebook reader and copy the new version to the ebook reader. However, I often forget to copy the new version to my ebook reader (old age creeping up).

It would be nice to have a function that automatically updates the ebooks on the device, when I connect it to Calibre. Is this possible?

I looked through the plugin list, but nothing struck me as useful. I searched in the forum, but none of the titles of the threads struck me as useful. I thought I had seen a thread like it, a few weeks ago at the most. Unfortunately I can not remember where I saw it and if it is relevant to my question.
Maybe it has already been described but I missed the thread. Maybe it is not possible.

I do not have any annotations in these books that might need to be transferred.

Any pointers would be helpful,
Thanks,
Capricorn
