If you connect the Nook to your PC both the Nook and the SD card will show up as a drive letter and you can just drag and drop your files to the Nook or the SD card.
I have also never heard anyone on the B&N board complain that the SD card drains the memory.

no, youre completely right. You can do that, but you could do that on either reader. The advantage of side loading is being able to have multiple sd cards with full volumes of manga or switching them out on the fly. This is why people talk about side loading. It's especially advantageous if you don't have your reader on you but have your computer and want to read it on your reader later at home. it is much much more convenient than having to carry your reader with you at all points in time.
there is no real advantage if you use your reader to only read epubs because they're small files. But if you use your reader for pdfs/manga, and/or music/ audiobooks (which run about 500 mbs), then, you really really need the ability to side load.
