Sideloading's a wonderful feature, but it's far from being the main (or even a major) use case. Yes, I'd like to see that change, as I hate ecosystem lock-in - but my preferences are not reality, and I must be careful not to confuse the two.

there are several 3rd party epub reader apps that support sync between devices ( assuming you have the same app on more than once device) -working via cloud storage apps like dropbox.
those solutions should work for all formats.
KObo's own app is not one of them!
but surely there's not that many customers who want/need to read a book simultaneously on 2+ devices. In what circumstance is this "feature" a genuine benefit ?
