The reason [you cannot sideload and get the sync] is because you need to use the copy that Amazon has modified, inserting things such as an ASIN identifier in order to uniquely mark the book -- this allows Amazon to know what to sync.

You can, of course, sideload and get the sync using the copy downloadable from http://amzn.com/manageyourkindle, as well as store that copy in calibre to deploy to multiple devices.
