But in relative ones?

Again, I only can use my personal surroundings as a base for now.
But none of the Kindle owners in my periphery is sideloading much. From what I hear, maybe a handful books per year. All of them state, they bought Kindles for the Amazon store and exclusively buy from there.
On the other hand, all sideloaders I know bought Kobos. For ePUB and some for the SD card.

My friends with readers definitely are too small a group for any valid statistics.
None of them has PocketBooks or any other reader without a connected store.
But in total figures, this kind of users probably makes up for 75% of users.
