Bottom line for me: I want to read the book, I paid for the subscription, I'm going to read it. If I can't read it, I won't subscribe.
An rather interesting claim that sideloading does not hurt anything since it all evens out in the end which at best, is a unproven theory and likely a total fallacy. You can believe whatever you want to help you sleep at night. Just don't expect the rest of us to join in your delusions.

You paid for a subscription but now feel that you are entitled to disregard the rules of the game. You can download the book to your Kobo ereader, you can read it there. If you don't wish to follow the rules, don't let the door hit your backside on the way out.
