PDFs "sent" to a Scribe get converted to KPF, which can only be read on a Scribe.

It seems to me that the situation is likely similar with the Colorsoft, but no one will know until someone starts playing with it.

I tried this method out of curiosity, and while the Scribe won’t directly open the print-replica KPF file, it will open the KFX file converted from it, and allows writing on that KFX. Therefore I suspect that converting source color content (PDF or others) to KFX before sideloading should enable the Colorsoft to display those colors (i.e. Amazon presumably implemented colors only in the KFX renderer.)
But indeed we won’t know until people with the actual device in their hands start playing with it.
