Those two sentences directly contradict each other. If "most are quite happy," then how could that be "likely not a good solution for most"? Most = most and if they're happy, who's to say there's a problem?
With the shakeout in ebook stores and ebook prices tending toward the same level when they're not fixed, certainly it has become much less compelling to go through the step of sideloading. I myself have ended up buying most of my books from Kobo or borrowing and downloading directly from OverDrive on my reader. Why not? When you're not adding a boatload of books at once, it's trivial to sort a book onto its shelf manually once it's landed on the device, the other major advantage of Calibre.
