Kindle 3 is not so good for programming books because the tables, graphics and wider lines for coding. Kindle DXG or even iPad with Kindle for iOs are much better. Landscape mode helps a bit though but a bigger screen is better, in my opinion. But yeah, formatting does not work very well on some of them.
On my case, color is not a must; SQL code reads the same. In some performance tuning books I can't see color on some graphics, like for execution plans, but still is readable.
My 1st Kindle was a Kindle DXG and bought it in order to read database and computer books.
