The only point that interested me and what I wanted to stress with the poll, without being to obvious and use words as "pirated":
Have you considered that you may be being intellectually dishonest? If you had succeeded in fooling anyone, you would just have gotten false results.
Also your biased assumptions are unkind.

Almost all of my friends who sideload do it with illegal content. And most of them don't use Kindles because they don't have any advantages then for them.
Are the >90% of my friends (only 1 out of at least 10 using his own legally obtained content) a coincidence or is it the general trend?
You need to reevaluate who your friends are, maybe. Projecting their attitudes on MR seems rather silly.

Yes, you can sideload your legal content.
Yes, you can get stuff legally for free.
But I wanted to focus on the aforementioned aspect...
And you did an excellent job of saying so, too.
