Most books are all text, some have monochrome illustrations and/or photos, and some have color illustrations and/or photos. Electronic books are the same.
When I bought the right to read the electronic version of "Pictures of the Mind", I did not know whether there would be pictures or not or how that would affect the usefulness of the book to me. It turns out that the pictures are in the book and that the book can stand on its own without the pictures. But many issues discussed in the book relate to differences in brain activity under different conditions. These differences are shown using color in the book and I rarely saw any difference at all in the gray scale pictures on a Vizplex Kindle 2 or a Pearl Kindle DX. The color portions are in color in that electronic book and would display in color on an electronic reader with a color display.
It would be up to the publisher whether any illustrations are color or not. I have seen reviews of the CK-12 textbooks that say many of the color illustrations lose legibility on Kindles.
