I never said (wrote) that.
We've had this discussion a few pages earlier.
Yes, you can sideload (whatever sideloading means for every one) to a Kinde more or less the same as to a Kobo.
I only gave the example of a few friends. In this small group, Kobos by far have been favored, because of the SD card, which allows for faster and more convenient file transfer and exchangeability of large quantities. And for the ePUB format, which for them (they claim) is easier and more often to find.
I never said, or intended to imply, Kobo mainly would be used by Pirates.
But, based on the tiny bit of statistic, pirates might favor Kobos over Kindles.
(All Athenians...)
Doesn't really matter, pirating on Kindle or Kobo doesn't change the basic premises.
I only wanted to share this anecdotal pice of information, because those few pirates when choosing their reader exclusively had been focusing on the ease and convenience of sideloading and had a 100% tendency towards Kobo respectively against Kindle. Surprisingly enough, there wasn't any other reader mentioned. Personally, I would have guess a "open" reader without link to any bookstore at all, like TX68, would be most convenient for them. But maybe they still want to check the bookstore but then not buy there, but illegally download?
