One makes one's choices from the available and viable options.

Until Amazon fixes the vanishing books issue, there IS an issue with sideloading and yes, it should be mentioned unless the OP specifically says they're never going to sideload via USB.

This is a "don't put beans up your nose" issue. Sideloading via USB and keeping a Kindle offline I suspect is not mainstream. One cannot possibly come up with every possible issue to warn off potential purchasers, nor should one. It's up to the purchaser to identify their parameters. I see what seems to me to be a lot of FUD in these threads when a hapless poster just wants some reassurance or a nudge in the right direction. Something that's really easy-peasy becomes fraught and it's so unnecessary and counterproductive.
