I used Whispersync only for a couple of years after getting my first ereader (Kindle), then I switched to sideloading via USB. That was long before I bought my first non-Kindle ereader. I just never felt I needed Whispersync so much as to bother with emailing, wifi and syncing. I could find my place in a book without it perfectly well.
I'm not interested in either public domain or paper books and so 90% of all my ebooks are bought. Mostly from Amazon, Kobo and Google Play, some older ones from Smashwords as well. Still, I sideload all of them from Calibre, without any exceptions.
