You are almost correct. As it currently stands, the proposed change wouldn't JUST prevent developers from uploading their apps to Google without prior vetting. It would prevent them from installing, testing, debugging their own apps on their OWN devices without being first vetted by Google. They couldn't develop their own app and use it on their own device (or give it to a friend) without spending money and being approved by Google. I don't want to downplay that. It IS quite the game-changer.

But you're correct that your usage should be unaffected. Unless your approved, legitimate reading apps choose to prevent you (or were forced to prevent you) from sideloading your own ebooks, nothing should change for you.

I just find all the retroactive blame being thrown at a silly term to be a bit... silly... is all.
