Amazon has done a disservice to those of us that bought this book to see the colorful illustrations in the iPad and iPhone. All color has been stripped. Many figures rely on color differentiation to describe and explain the content. The color should have been retained, since now the kindle books can be read on many devices, including computers, that provide color. Otherwise, the book description in amazon should provide a disclaimer. I do have another kindle book that I can read in color on the phone, PC and iPad, so it is not a rule that all kindle books are intrinsically black and white.
