Oddly, I can purchase books on my Kobo from the Kobo store and have them wirelessly delivered to my ereader. For sideloaded content, I use calibre's server component. The same on my Tolino save for the ability to save sideloaded ebooks to the Tolino cloud. Where exactly does an Amazon ereader have a significant advantage here?

Amazon is my primary source for books also.
I connect to my charger more than my computer. And I prefer being able to read/edit ebooks in a standard based format. As for being forced to connect to your computer to add books? That whole scenario is so dated.
