Right here’s one thing that’s going to deliver out some extra criticism concerning the Kindle Colorsoft.
I used to be testing totally different PDF recordsdata and it seems the Kindle Colorsoft doesn’t assist shade on PDFs which can be sideloaded by way of USB.
For those who use Amazon’s Ship to Kindle to ship PDFs to the Kindle Colorsoft wirelessly they are going to present full shade, however not in case you sideload the identical PDF recordsdata over USB.
I examined a number of totally different PDFs and all have been rendered in grayscale as an alternative of shade when sideloading.
That made me marvel if it was the case with all sideloaded content material, however no. Sideloaded ebooks present shade, so it simply appears to be a PDF factor.
It’s sort of related with the Kindle Scribe the way you can’t write on PDFs which can be sideloaded; you need to use Ship to Kindle so as to have the ability to write on them.
That is the primary time I’ve encountered one thing like this. You may sideload PDFs with none challenge exhibiting shade on different manufacturers of ereaders; that is strictly and Amazon drawback.
Granted, having to make use of Ship to Kindle isn’t that huge of a deal, however I’m certain some folks aren’t going to love it. It does include the advantage of having your PDFs backed up on Amazon’s cloud, they usually’re accessible from different Kindle gadgets and apps too. However one of many limitations with Ship to Kindle is the utmost file measurement is 200 MB.
Web page flip pace is quicker with sideloaded PDFs which can be rendered in black and white, however that appears to be the one advantage of sideloading.
If you wish to learn PDFs on the Kindle Colorsoft, and also you need them to be in shade, then you definately’ll have to make use of Ship to Kindle. I overlook how Amazon advantages from changing and storing folks’s PDF libraries without spending a dime, however there should’ve been a motive for them to do it this manner.
