Agreed, you purchased for 0 cent.

And yes, that's what I originally had intended: "Somewhere else" = darknet and other dubious sources.

Basically what I meant: Legally obtained (even free, though I admittedly hadn't thought it would be that heavily used. I never found anything interesting myself amongst the free titles and don't own a single free book, but maybe that's the German market with its price binding policy) vs. illegal content. And this trying to bring in correlation to sideloading.

--> By far not all sideloads are illegal (maybe even the majority isn't). But probably most illegal content is sideloaded.
