There are workarounds and that's where it gets complicated.

So yeah, I did focus on what the OP said. And I stand by my conviction that Kindles are no longer good devices for sideloading.
Leave wireless on and either sideload or use STK. Easy and serviceable, which to me says not focusing on the OP's requirements. At least list it as an option, even if you personally would rather not.

I love STK, personally. Maybe the OP would, also.
