I'm still running my Sony 650 for reading, which is sideloading only, however the most important reason for me is strictly for disinfection purposes. I don't use any cloud hosting, nor do I trust implicitly that all my purchases will be backed up on the store's site indefinitely, so I make sure that I always have a clean copy in my Calibre. Besides, I'm very specific about how I like my tags and collections ordered on my books, so I wouldn't download right to device even if I had the option.
