Are there any issues with either device working with Calibre? Can you turn off the Wifi on the Kindle and the Aura?
You don't want a Paperwhite, with your requirements, unless you are willing to jailbreak and root it. Even then, managing books and collections is far easier and efficient on the Kobo, than on the Paperwhite. After experiencing the ease of working with the Kobo + Calibre, I don't think I will get another Kindle.

I also side load 100% and never turn the wifi on to load books.
