I totally agree. As a developer we have gotten very used to seeing our source code colorized in todays modern IDEs and even text editors like VIM, TextMate, Notepad++, e colorize your code.

Someone got the bright idea to product a programming book with the code samples/snippets colorized. It was a revelation... made the book so much better. Now many publishers are moving to do this. So, being able to have the same color in the eBook version will make them that much more readable.

I also agree with Zelda, for Kids books this is a must. Of course, we are probably talking 10 years away until readers are so cheap and ubiquitous that they replace kids picture books.
