This is very surprising to me. I've got a kindle from 2013 and never had any issue with unsupported books.

Is yours super older or what?

There are some books that just straight up are not supported on kindles or only on Kindle fire editions. Looking it actually recently changed, but "Operating Systems: Three Easy Pieces," you could buy in kindle format, but it would only work for the Kindle fire editions. Maybe it has gotten better, but I used to run into this a lot with textbooks. Would work on Kindle fires, but not paperwhite.

It's a Kindle Paperwhite. I think colour is usually the problem. Doesn't make sense to me either.

    Colour?! I’ve never had an issue of my kindle with colour! It’s only black and white! How can Amazon screw up a black and white conversion?

      Maybe I'm wrong. I kind of just abduced it because it was the only plausible reason I could think of. My kindle only supports black and white. And I figure newer models might have colour support?
