Almost from the day I bought my first Kindle I have had books on it that are not part of the supposed walled garden. And Amazon continues to make it easier to add books from other sources. Currently, by the usb port, by download from their cloud of non-Amazon books emailed to the Kindle, direct from a PC through Wifi by the Send to Kindle option.
If you don't have any Wifi capability, you can get a 3g model to have access to all your content. You can convert from other formats by using Calibre (not an Amazon program, obviously)
I have found these options to be much better than what I had to go through to get books on my Sony PRS-505. Which didn't have an SD card option as I remember. But it was a great reader for what it did.
I am not saying that many folks don't need an SD card option, just that Amazon has come up with many other options.
