> it seems like Kindle has better sideloading support now.

For books? Hasn’t Kindle always had amazing sideloading support? I think even over a decade ago you could just email your pirated books to a kindle.com email address to have them automagically show up on the kindle.

The email method still works for epub, although mobi/azw can't be emailed anymore.

I've been emailing mobis even after they "officially" deprecated them, I don't think they actually disabled it.

Getting the files on it is ok, but library management sucks because Kindle doesn't show the folders.

Caveat: My experience is from an older model, so that might have improved.

Second this. The Kindle is also much faster for me when clicking on footnote links (on sideloaded books).
