Yes, you can sideload to (almost?) all systems. Kindles for example as easily as Kobos.
Yes, you can sideload DRM-free but with DRM as well.

But the point I was interested in -as difficult as it may be re. discussing piracy and such- is about the nature of sideloading.

Basically, I'd like to see, how big the correlation between sideloading and piracy really is. I'm absolutely sure, there is some correlation. Maybe not for most mobileread members, but certainly for the rest of users.
For example, I would guess there are more pirated books on Kobos due to SD card, ePUB and such, than on Kindles due to rigid ecosystem and limited storage.
