The Kindle is one of the best things Amazon ever did. They made subsidized ereaders and made them cheap. Ofcourse they did it to promote their store but they've never blocked side loading.

They do block side loading of audiobooks. You can only play audiobooks from Audible on Amazon Kindles.

Silly question, but why would you ever buy a kindle (or a kobo) for an audible book?
