Books have lost color

I'm converting many Kindle books from AZW3 and KFX to EPUB so I can load them onto my forthcoming Kobo Forma. I'm noticing that in nearly every book containing color photos or illustrations, the book converts to black and white. I'd love to find a way to fix this, is it possible?

I've looked through the settings and can't seem to locate where/what needs tweaking.

Thanks!

Books in KFX format taken from a Kindle device will typically have all images in black and white to save on storage.

To avoid this either download the book directly from Amazon’s website or obtain it using Kindle for PC or Mac.
