It's possible that I've yet to borrow a Penguin book but all of the books that I've checked out from my library deliver wirelessly and do not need to be sideloaded.

However, I DO use a laptop to browse the library and complete the checkout. I have not tried to use my Kindle exclusively because the screen is so small, browsing through the library website would be quite annoying with the Kindle experimental web browser.
When a Kindle eBook is available, you have to have access to a computer in order to get the Kindle eBook from Amazon to your Kindle. You don't have to di it via USB except if it's an eBook from Penguin. I'm mentioning the eink Kindles only.
