At least e-Ink screens are becoming cheaper and better so there'll be plenty of alternatives if they block side-loading.

Where are you going to get the books from, if Amazon doesn't let you download them?

Kobo, Google Play Books, smaller niche sites like Baen, Humble Bundle, J-novel club, etc.

They let you download books with no DRM (or with DRM that works with any reader)?

Some have no DRM, like Baen, most Humble Bundles and J-novel club. Most books on Kobo/Google Play have DRM but it's really really easy to remove.
