It means to load books or apps from non-bookstore or Market sources. Like of you bought ePub novels on Sony's Reader Store and wanted to load them onto your Kobo. You'd have to approve the Kobo using ADE (Adobe's DRM client) and then copy the files onto the Kobo. Or if you had an APK file from a developer that's not in GetJar (the only app market on the Kobo) and wanted to install it. You have to sideload it by either downloading from the web or putting a file onto a MicroSD card.
With a non-DRM ePub file, you can import it into the built-in Kobo app after, or install Aldiko and have its file browser load the file directly from the SD card. With apps, you have to check the 'Use non-Market source' option in the Applications setting to install APK files without the Android Market.
