This is true. Years ago, I was using eink Kindles to directly download books from Project Gutenberg using the onboard browser. It was a bit tedious (I wouldn't do it now) but it showed that sideloading wasn't absolutely necessary in getting non-Amazon books on a Kindle. As you say, there are many sources for purchasing non-Amazon Mobis.
