I have three different Kindles but exclusively use an original Kobo Libra for epubs and all the books bought off Amazon.
I do have KOReader on a Mars eink Android but I've not felt the need to customise the Kobo at all. Previously had an original Kobo H2O which is still OK, but Libra better. I did "jailbreak" my Kindle DXG, which was my worst gadget purchase ever. The 5" Sony PRS-350 I have is more use!

Yes, yes, of course Kobo has more customizing options and integrates with Calibre. I prefer Kobos myself these days. Still, sideloading as such is just as easy on a Kindle as on a Kobo, all the other bells and whistles aside. You drop a book on your reader via USB. The same process on both. Of course for a Kindle the book must be in a Kindle format (mobi, azw3 or kfx).
As for myself, I found the epub format practically unreadable on a Kobo without patching. Huge gaps and margins, no bolding of my favorite sideloaded fonts and so on.
