Have your open Android rant. I don't care. I only care that people are falsely claiming that use of the term "sideload" plays some part in closing down Android. If changing the sideload paradigm is paramount to saving Android, you've already lost.

Ok, so let me see if I understand this whole issue.
What is being talked about is that Google will no longer allow software developers to upload their applications into Google unless they have been basically supervised and approved by Google? So, you can't go to the developer's website and get the app from them and download it onto your phone, tablet etc. Your device will no longer allow this to happen.
Is this correct?
But this has nothing to do with that if you are using an approved, legitimate reading app on your device, you should have no problem side loading/transferring ebook files that are on your pc over to your device.
Is this the correct interpretation Diap Dealer?
If it is, then it has no impact on me since I don't download any applications that don't come from Google Play onto my phone. Because I know that it's more than likely free of anything that can harm my phone!
I think that some of you forget that the majority of us have ZERO interest in fiddling with our devices, we have no interest in Jailbreaking a perfectly functioning device just so we can risk them by putting on untested software that is "spy" proof or whatever on them.
I have seen plenty of threads on here asking for help because someone decided to jailbreak their phone from the evil empire and now have a very expensive device that they can no longer use at all. Cry me a river, you took a big chance and lost, you have no one but yourself to blame!
Yes, I like to have choices and options, that is why I do my research beforehand before I purchase my devices and any software that I want to put on it. And I want to be sure that it is going to work with my untampered by me, device.
That is why I choose Samsung phones, that is why I never have and never will buy an Amazon device, or anymore of their ebooks. It is why I stick with Androids and epubs, because they allow me the widest selection of choice.
So long as none of this changes I'm happy!
