The specifics of the sideloaded files are not sent and there is no syncing of information such as reading position for a sideloaded file. What they will get is the time you spend reading, the number of page flips and crash log information but nothing that I can say would identify you. You can turn this off by removing the check from "Automatically share data about the features you use" under Energy saving and privacy. I haven't managed to generate a stack_nn.log file in a while but looking back at some old ones, I didn't see anything that would be considered personal information other than the first line: OH THE HUMANITY!
