I chose "I don't care about sideloading", "I buy from the merchant of my choice, strip and sideload to my hardware of choice" and "I don't mind paying for ebooks." I was a little stumped about the second one, because for me those three items are independent and not related to each other, but I chose it anyway.

My first ebook reader was sideload only; no wi-fi, so I had to download all content and connect to the computer to copy to my reader.

Now that I'm using all wi-fi devices, I pretty much just leave everything in the cloud. Every six months or so, I go through my email receipts and I download all of my purchases and import them into Calibre. I do use the tools on those books, but to be honest, most of the time if I want to actually *read* I book, I download it to my device from whatever vendor is holding it for me. I would like to someday have them all in Calibre, so that my library is in one place, but I haven't put the time into sorting those books yet.

The last time I sideloaded content was when I downloaded books that I bought for my son from Amazon (his Kindle Touch is linked to my account) and sideloaded them to his Kindle Fire (linked to his dad's account). Originally, setting up his devices to separate accounts made sense, since his dad has more apps in his account than I do in mine, but I didn't take into account the fact that Amazon does not allow the Kindle app to have a separate login from the tablet itself.
