I'm not saying to remove the side-load option, rather I'm saying that the Amazon Whisper net system really nailed it in terms of making it very easy for people to avoid all potential complications of getting their book to read. If an author wants to go at it entirely alone doing writer->reader sales, then they'll need to be equally as simple for maximum satisfaction and minimum "support calls".
For those who know how, sure, go ahead and side-load, I'm simply suggesting there needs to also be a path-of-least-resistance for purchasing and reading books. For many of us it is not a problem at all side-loading, we know it like the back of our hands - however there are even more people out there who aren't as inclined.
