I don't know the last time I posted here, but seeing the ignorant replies I had to jump in.

I actually own a Paperwhite 12th gen. Sideloading with Calibre works fine. The book covers appear in the library and as screensavers. I use kfx. I have hundreds of ebooks that I sideload with zero issues whatsoever.

If you have to convert them in Calibre, when you're at it select the personal document setting. It will help you avoid a known bug and also make it easy to filter sideloaded vs kindle ebooks if you ever wish to.
