Are Kindle Magazines in Color?

A Kindle formatted magazine can be very different, sometimes disappointingly so, from the printed edition.  However, some Kindle magazines are very similar to the printed edition.

You can get hundreds of Kindle formatted magazines at bargain prices from Amazon; some are even free with a Kindle Unlimited subscription.

You can read a Kindle magazine on a Kindle e-reader, or on a tablet or phone that has the Kindle app.  If you’re reading on a Kindle e-reader, everything is in black and white, and many photographs are left out.  You can see the differences in the photo above, showing the National Geographic Kindle edition on a Kindle device and on an iPad.

If you’re reading on an iPad or other color tablet, some magazines will appear in full color, with all the photos from the printed edition.  However, some magazines will display in black and white, even on a color device like an iPad. The only way to know what you’ll get is by getting a trial edition.  All Kindle magazines have a 28-day free trial, so if you’re unhappy with your subscription just cancel.

*Kindle paid subscriptions come with a risk-free 28-day FREE period after which the subscription starts. Learn more about subscriptions.
