Fanfic / WIP Question

[laceblade]

I have a question about long-ish fanfics that are works in progress.

Let's say that I'm reading a 200,000+ word fic, which isn't yet complete. I download it to my e-reader, and read it on that.
Then, the author updates the fic with a new chapter.

Is there a way to add this chapter to the existing e-book?
Or is the only way to get it to re-download the entire fic?

If I do re-download the entire fic, does anybody know of an easy way to breeze past those first 55 chapters of 200,000+ words, or am I better off just reading the new chapters on my laptop?

--
Side notes, in case they are useful, although I think the question is applicable to any site/management tool/e-reader:
Using a Kobo Touch, downloading fic from the AO3.org, managing fic with Calibre.

Hello,

I use this website and the calibre plugin attached with it : http://fanfictiondownloader.appspot.com/

It's great, if the fiction is in the supported site it's even better. If not, you can ask to add the website and someone, or you can work on a adapter.

If you use the calibre plugin, you can choose
- Update existing Ebook
- Then choose add new chapters

and Voilà - I tested it, it's wonderful, really.
