I have a few purchased amazon books, and more sideloaded (via the kindle email-adress). I did store them in collections, but wouldn't have a problem rearranging them into collections of neccessary.
I didn't fully understand these issues with the new firmware: does the pw2 case problems with sideloaded books? Or are they not stored in the cloud and synced anymore?
On another hand: I was considering the Kobo Aura, since I imagine that I can use dropbox to keep the books and highlights in sync, and read across multiple devices using dropbox. Is that correct, or do I imagine it too easy?

I have a Paperwhite 1 not a 2 but I don't think the 2 treats books you send to kindle any differently. The side loaded books you send to Amazon are treated by Amazon and the Kindle as if they were Amazon books and are stored in the Cloud. The only difference is they are Personal Documents not Books. They still sync as they always did.
I have a Kobo Aura, I load my books via Calibre into Collections (Calibre has a plug in that's works great for this). I also load the odd book via Dropbox using the browser and that also works fine.
The screen on the Paperwhite is slightly better that the Aura's but I do love my Aura.
