OK, you didn't specify local in your original post, nor did you specify your country.
You have been misinformed. Sideloaded books can be adjusted in all of those things, unless there is code in the book prohibiting it. Simply strip any such code in Calibre before sideloading - it's very simple to set up conversion defaults to do that, or you can do it various harder ways.
Fonts can be sideloaded, and sideloaded fonts can be used on both sideloaded books and Kobo books.
Ebook prices in a particular store are irrelevant to a purchase decision, unless you want to only sync with and read from that particular store - and you don't sound like that kind of ebook reader. If you don't like Kobo's prices, simply shop anywhere else (except iBooks, and, now, Nook/B&N). It can all be DRM-stripped, converted if necessary, then sideloaded.
