there should be an option for colorful text (as in one word being a different color not just all being blue for example)

This is fantastic! Not clunky or slow. Yet, so many options! But it makes it very easy to customize it. Wow. Thank you so much for providing this!

Is it possible to use this in the kindle cloud reader? It isn't working for me and that would be very helpful. Thanks!
