I have an Ipad with Kindle for Ipad loaded. I got a couple of quilting books that were labeled 'ebook' from Amazon, and they came over in color. I loved them! Then I ordered a newer title, it was listed as an ebook, not a kindle edition. It came over in B&W and basically was not usable. I had to break down and get a hardcopy. I read the info on all the books carefully and there was no mention of color or B&W on any of them. If you are sure the book will come over in color, I would go for it, but if it's B&W, well, it's just not worth it.
