Perhaps Friedman and/or the publisher thought that using, say, red, purple, orange, pink, etc. would be garish or unprofessional for such a scholarly publication. Anyway, it's serviceable as it is.

If it's ePub, couldn't you tweak the colors in the CSS? I'm barely literate in CSS coding, but I've looked at the CSS files in EditBook in Calibre and have been able to make some simple fixes. (Usually when my TOC negative indent goes past the left margin).

I wonder if Kobo's format being ePub2 would make any difference?

As someone mentioned, Christianbook's price has dropped to $1.99, also, and it is ordinary ePub (but DRM-Protected). If I had known that Christianbook was going to drop, I would have waited and bought from them.

You can as long as you're willing to remove the DRM. If you can find the following lines in the CSS, that's where the colors are:

span.green
{
color:#008349;
}
span.green1
{
color:#008349;
background-color:#DEECE4;
padding-left:0.1em;
padding-right:0.3em;
}
span.blue1
{
color:#004B85;
background-color:#DAE1EE;
padding-left:0em;
padding-right:0em;
}

You can change the "color:#008349" lines to be "color:red" or "color:fuchsia" or whatever. Then go back and look at the key to the sources and see if you like the results.

The Kobo and Christianbook files will be almost identical. Kobo adds a bunch of tags for their desktop reader, but the ADE files are straight from the publisher.
