Not necessarily exactly the same 10 people, but there obviously is a correlation.
And quite understandably: Personally, I'd always buy a reader with SD expansion when sideloading. a.) It can be easier to move content to an exchangeable SD card than to internal memory. b.) When sideloading, I wouldn't want to be limited to a meager 2GB or 4GB. And personally, I'd always sideload in the widest spread format, not a format mainly used by a single vendor. |
Correlation does not equal causation. It is equally easy to sideload to a Kindle as to a Kobo.
I sideload all content. I want a DRM-free copy of all my purchases and I organize these in calibre so the ebooks are all in my computer and I transfer via USB to my eReaders. I sideload library ebooks too, since that is the way to get them onto my Kobo.
