The result is that the "page color" option is available on all three of them, however only the third book has a visible book cover in the library.
I also sideloaded some books (one from Amazon and one from Kobo) converted to AZW3 with Calibre to confirm that indeed KFX is required but I got an error when trying to open them. This is weird, and perhaps a side effect of jailbreaking my Colorsoft, but I don't really use AZW3 so I won't investigate the issue further.
Also it might be worth noting that the books were manually copied to the Kindle via USB, not transferred via Calibre; I already have a Calibre library on the Kindle which I use for KOReader and didn't want to mess with it.
Anyway I hope you get it to work, the lack of a real dark mode is really the big shortcoming of the Colorsoft! |
You can have book covers in the library without PDOC if Amazon sells the book. You just need the ASIN.
