Say what you want, but Reader for PC it top notch when it comes to loading books and setting up collections!
If you want to sideload books from other sources, nothing is stopping you from doing so. No artificial limits on the amount of space sideloaded books can use. Personally, I sideload virtually all my ebooks using Calibre and it's plugins to manage my ereader along with Sigil for editing. For DRMed library books, I use ADE 2 to download them to my PC and then to sideload them to my ereader. Even for books purchased from Kobo, I will download the epub version as they are available 99% of the time and then sideload the epub. The kepub version gets to reside in the trash in my Kobo account, giving me the occasional nasty moment of "what if I empty the trash?", since that keeps them from autosyncing to my ereader.

David
