Just FYI, this worked PERFECTLY! THANK YOU!!!

For the others, just make sure that when you explode the azw3 file in calibre and tweak it, that you use em values for the font-size of the second dropcap.

Here are some dropcap formulas for various sizes of fonts. These should work all right as long as you indicate in the eighth value of the font size key the same value as the font-size, in px.

span.dropcaps {
float: left;
font-size: 80px;
line-height: 0; -->> okay lang lagyan ng value, like 70px
padding-top: 1px;
margin-top:-.375em;
margin-bottom: -.5em;
margin-right:1.35px;
font-weight: bold;
}

.drop {
float: left;
font-size:3em;
margin-top: -.3em;
margin-bottom: -.5em;
margin-right: .05em;
}

span.dropcaps ((((dropcap a bit high but all right)))
{
float: left;
font-size: 100px;
line-height: 80px;
padding-top: 1px;
margin-top: -0.5em;
margin-bottom: -.5em
}

span.dropcaps (((dropcaps just right)))
{
float: left;
font-size: 100px;
line-height: 80px;
padding-top: 1px;
margin-top: -0.475em;
margin-bottom: -.525em
}

span.dropcaps {
float: left;
font-size: 70px;
line-height: 70px;
padding-top: 1px;
margin-top: -.415em;
margin-bottom: -.475em
}

for one-line dropcaps, this one worked for me:
.dropcaps1 {
font-size: 2.5em;
float: left;
margin-bottom: -0.50em;
margin-top: -0.725em
}

to everyone who helped.
