I have heard several people mention Amazon deleteing sideloaded books. I have never had that happen. I leave my Kindles connected to wifi all the time and let them update whenever they want. However, I do use Send to Kindle to send my non-Amazon books to my Kindles so all my devices and apps will sync. Is that not the same as sideloading?
