See my post above, where I specified that I sideload all of my ebooks. For managing collections of sideloaded titles, Kobos offer superior functionality.

If customers asked for this option, it's probably because they were unsophisticated in software mechanisms. What they might have wanted to ask for is "give me a way to clean up my view of existing purchases".
I agree. This seems to be what John Hopper wants - to get unwanted titles off of the device. There is nothing in his post that indicates a pressing need to unpurchase items (i.e. to relinquish the right to download another copy in the future). Unpurchasing seems a rather strange thing to opt for, when it costs you nothing extra to continue to enjoy the right to download another copy. Thus, it belongs on the 'Manage your content and devices' page, alongside the option to return for refund.
