I'd gladly take better default settings though, if you would find them.
I've just released pngcrush-1.7.15 (source only right now) which will automatically reduce the bit depth to 1, 2, or 4 when the plte_len option is used without the bit_depth option, to avoid generating invalid palette entries (which unfortunately won't help you because you did not omit the -bit_depth option). I don't know why the Kindle images would look different from the Windows ones, unless the Kindle is mis-handling sub-8-bit PNG images. If that is the case you might be able to deal with that by using the current version of ImageMagick (IM-6.6.8-6) to write the images as PNG8 and then pngcrush them with no options.
