I think you would be guessing wrong. I'm not quite following why you believe the Kindle's ecosystem to be more rigid than Kobo's? The vast majority of all people using ereaders stick entirely within their device's ecosystem. Those that do sideload, do so easily regardless of the device. I believe the availability of SD cards effects the tiniest fraction of users, myself. And as for the number of pirated books ... I would say the sheer number of Kindles out there compared to Kobos guarantees that Kindles contain the lion's share of sideloaded content--illicit or otherwise (not that I think the statistic is very relevant in the GSoT).
