The only thing is that if you sideload through USB, the ebooks will only go onto the Kindle, not to Amazon's cloud, and thus cannot be synced between devices. If you use the email feature or Send to Kindle, you can also keep them in the cloud (with Send to Kindle, this is optional - you can choose whether you want that or not) and sync between several Kindle devices or apps.

Sorry, I was commenting on shaylm's claim that it was easier to get a book to a Kindle via email than to a Kobo or similar device. Whether it is easier or not, it needs more infrastructure which isn't always available.
