Really they delete sideloaded* conrtent? So if I use send to Kindle, the book will get deleted? If I sideload and use wifi, sideloaded books will be deleted? If the book is marked as pdoc, it will be deleted? Can kobos sync sideloaded books across multiple devices?
And I won't go into the backup kerfuffle. How is that for bias?

And I don't consider StK as sideloading. To me sideloading is sending from my computer directly to the ereader whether using USB or WiFi. I prefer not to leave copies of ebooks on Amazon's servers when there is no need to do so.
I see from your comment about PDOC that you are aware of the issue that Amazon has created with sideloaded ebooks that are labelled as EBOK. The one that has and continues to result in mass deletion of ebooks from Kindle ereaders. Even my poor old PW4 has displayed that cockup in Amazon's ebook management when for testing purposes, I left it offline for several weeks and then reconnected to WiFi. At which point the test books I had sideloaded were removed without even the courtesy of informing me that they were being removed.
