On the plus side, I suppose the illustrations are an OK size - about 600 pixels in largest dimension, and are sharper than I could get from a scan of a hardcover.

I am not surprised that the books are coming in black and white and not color. Most ereaders can't display color, so it makes sense to use black and white instead. The file size is probably a bit of an issue as well, color does take up more space than black and white. Though they should have converted the color pages.
Ohh I just figured out that the highest price of the books at fictionwise is the one that has 3 books in it. But still $15 for a single book if you don't buy the bundle! That is HC prices!
