Best ebook app for reading fan fiction?

Hi guys, I’m a pretty heavy fic reader, and i use calibre to organize fic downloaded—mostly—from AO3 and ffnet. Most of my library are finished stories I love or plan to read, but like any fic reader there are plenty that I read that are still being updated, regularly or not. I’ve got it all running smoothly via calibre and fanficfare, but I was wondering what the best reader app would be in the following situation:

whenever a new chapter is added onto a fic, what I basically end up doing is sending a new copy of the story from Calibre Companion to the ereader app. I’d love to just be able to update the file via Calibre and have it sync with the app, but that doesn’t seem to exist these days. What would be optimal is if the app could just replace the old version of the ebook with the new one. I haven’t found anywhere that that’s the case. Marvin sends me an alert that There is Already a File by That Name in your library or similar. iBooks either opens the old version or adds a second copy. Both make it better to delete after I’ve read each update, which i can do but it makes my library look so sparse!

Any other suggestions? Any other fic readers with similar needs?
