I have to agree with ProfCrash--you can certainly sideload content to the Kindle. I bought a Kindle Paperwhite 2 a few months ago and have sideloaded almost all of my content on it--stuff I have on my Sony Reader. The Kindle doesn't differentiate storage between what's available for Amazon content vs what's available for side loaded content. Both co-exist in the same storage area. I did have to convert my books from ePub to AZW3 format, but Calibre makes this a trivial operation.
I would have seriously considered the new Nook Glowlight, but the limitation for side loaded content to only 500mb and the removal of the sd slot was definitely a deal killer for me.
