Nope, nothing strange, nor indexed. And I'm using Photoshop.
Actually, I can't replicate the issue even using the original PNGs which were horridly rendered. I did uninstall and re-install ADE (same version), perhaps it was a software problem.

"Indexed PNGs" cover that entire use-case (256 colors).
Normal PNGs (Color + Color/Alpha) then take on the entire RGB color range.
On top of that, PNGs compress so much better, because it uses more modern algorithms.

I know, I know. Similar but harder stronger faster.
I went for the GIFs because they rendered better than PNGs in ADE at the time (???).

Not ideal, yes. Potentially hideous on color backgrounds? Yes. Fully compatible? Yes! :P
And then you just save the transparent source for some future date (or a MobileRead-specific version where you don't have to care about sales).

Yep; after this exchange I just went with the transparent PNGs.
And thanks!
By the way, I'm enjoying the use of both tools now, specially Sigil's Structure… option and its XHTML split.
