AFAIK with the current firmware the only things that you can do with a book bought from Kobo that you can't do with sideloaded books are:
* Store the book on Kobo's cloud server.
* Sync the book's reading position, annotations, etc. to your Kobo account.
* Rate/review the book on Kobo's website.
* Get a list of 'related books' to the one you are reading.
* See other ratings/reviews in the book's details pages.
There might be some other minor things I have overlooked, but in other ways sideloaded books are treated the same as books bought and synced from Kobo, provided you are comparing books in the same format (e.g. KePub format books are treated differently to ePub format books, but that applies even if both formats are sideloaded.)
