Also Katia if you don't yet have a Kindle (hardware) and are looking at buying one, I would consider holding off a little as a next generation model is rumoured to be out very soon (Sept. seems to be the month being mentioned a lot). Anyway if you are interested you will probably find more info in the Kindle or News sub-forums.
Yes Kindle can sync with side loaded books if you use Calibre. Calibre fills in the ASIN number from the stores which allows synching. As I understand it, the latest update does this automatically for you. I believe the synch works only for page numbers though.
