Amazon is fine with sideloading "Personal Documents" (PDOC) via USB and Send-to-Kindle. They're even fine with people stripping DRM from purchased Kindle books, editing them, then transferring them to your Kindle library using Send-to-Kindle.

As I understand it, things only get messed up if you change PDOC to EBOK and sideload via USB. Then Amazon's system goes wonky because it identifies that book as a purchased book and it tries to sync it with their records and can't.

As @Frogm4n says, that's not Amazon discouraging sideloading.
