Could it be Kobo calls any book NOT purchased from their store, no matter the way it is added, sideloaded?
I forgot that you can download books via the browser. The only times I have done this was simply to prove it would work.

Taming's definition works for me. If it didn't comes from the Kobo server, directly via WiFi or via the desktop app, it is sideloaded. The books from Kobo will be kepubs and handled by that reader application. The sideloaded will normally be handled by the ADE based reader.

But, it is possible to sideload an epub and have it treated as a kepub.
