The premise is wrong. You can still access the book files when connected to a computer, even with the latest firmware installed.

Yes. At the moment it seems to work properly if KFX format is used.

There have been sporadic reports of books not showing up when sideloading the older AZW3/KF8 format. However the cause is currently undetermined and it seems to still work for some people. I suspect a subtle problem in some AZW3 files created using calibre is triggering a new bug in the Kindle software.
