When I download and Add these to calibre, there appears to no option to Replace the existing book with the new one: I have to add and then delete the older one.

Am I missing some customization option?
You can check the options in Preferences > Adding books > Adding actions > Auto-merge added books, but if the metadata isn't the same it may add it as a separate book anyways.

You can drag and drop the new file onto the details pane, or open the metadata editor and use the "add a format" button to overwrite it.
