POLL (simpified) What % of books did you put on Kobo yourself (sideloaded)?

IE

All your books apart from those you:
- got from the Kobo outlet, for free or by payment
- borrowed from Overdrive

Perhaps also someone can tell me whether the following classes of books retain or lose their connection to collections/bookshelves after signing in and out of the Kobo:
- books borrowed from Overdrive
- books got from repositories such as Gutenberg by directly downloading to the device (OPDS)
- any other relevant categories of books

The information you give will be interesting because it will give an indication of what proportion of the books people have on their device retaintheir connection with their collections/bookshelves after the user signs out and back in, and what proportion losethat connection.

(Currently, signing out and back in requires the user to re-allocate a bunch of books back into their proper collections/shelves - either manually or setting up Calibre to do it. Most importantly, any books they sideloaded themselves).

How many books are involved, might be useful for Kobo to know about.

...As well as providing other interesting/useful info!
