I have never side loaded anything (that I know of) so I don't understand anything but Nook and Kindle ereaders. I have used the Kobo Sage for a couple of weeks.

When I use Calibre to put books on my Kobo that were bought 10-20 years ago, is that what side loading means? Did I sideload those books?

When I get a book from Kobo Plus or buy a book from Kobo, that is NOT side loading? What is it called?

Now that I have used the Kobo for a couple of weeks, is there anything else I need to do? Do I need to backup the Kobo? Is it good enough to have all books on Calibre?

My Calibre skills are very basic, and I don't understand some of the terminology people use on posts. I have yet to figure out what CSS is or whether I need it...

Thanks
