I'd prefer not to create dummy Amazon accounts so as not to run afoul of their ToS. I've got a ton of purchases on my Amazon (seller) account including probably thousands of dollars accumulated worth of comics via both Kindle and comiXology so I'd rather not take any risks.

I'd like to keep my sideloaded ebooks completely separate from actual ebook purchases which is part of my issue with Kindle and Kobo. Granted, I have DRM-free backups of my Kobo purchases and haven't used that in forever so I guess for Kobo, it doesn't matter if I use a dummy account.

Question though, I had an Aura HD before and one of the reasons I switched to Kindle is because the tap zone for next page on the Aura was too small (only the right 33% of the screen width was available for next page). I read one-handed and frequently switch hands while reading so page navigation when I'm using my left hand was a pain. Has that changed in recent versions?
Why don't you want to register your Paperwhite to your real account? You can still sideload all your books. All the books on my Kindles are sideloaded from Calibre, even Amazon purchases. I never download anything directly from Amazon and so there's no problem keeping sideloaded books and Amazon purchases separate. I just never use the Amazon cloud.
