In my personal, albeit limited, experience it's the other way around.
Those that do sideload carefully consider their purchase.
The other ones usually decide for the store and then the respective reader. From what I see, I'd say 75% is Amazon then.
But the ones that do sideload, take way more aspects into consideration.
A friend wanted to see my collection of readers exactly for that.
His questions never even remotely had been about store or prices for books.
It all was:
- What kind of file formats can each reader process natively?
- Is there an exchangeable SD card?
- Can I transfer from NAS, cloud and such?
- Is there a Linux filesystem/OS or something else one can work with?
And, like I wrote before, he was the one with the ROI calculation: "150 Euro for the reader, 15 Euro per book, about 2 books per month, so in less than 6 months I'm even when buying the reader".
But I only know about a dozen people with readers, so it's not really a statistically relevant group...
