Yep, that's correct.

On this part, sorry, I don't know. I don't have a Colorsoft. In theory if Calibre recognizes the device, and since you can browse to the folder, I would think it would work? But...make sure you are selecting the right file. It should end with .azw and not azw.md or azw.res. Just .azw.
The content is delivered in KFX, not AZW format. I can still get the content with colour images using k4pc, but it would be so much easier not to have to do that. Sigh.

I used to work in the Kindle group, and back then (2013) the team was customer focused. Now? Customer hostile...
