ADE doesn't support pseudo elements, and in version 1.0 it didn't support "justify" either. Coolreader only supports a subset of the CSS spec. and AFAIK pseudo elements is not among the supported tags. So there is no way you'll get away with making first-letter formatting this way - you'll have to use span's, as others have pointed out.

There are a couple of obvious errors in the CSS, namely the missing quotes around "Times New Roman" and line 13 ends in a : instead of a ; - which wil make ADE skip the whole section.

When these are corrected, the rest should work, at least in ADE.

Besides that, Sigil's rendering is not a true picture of how the book will look, as it is based on a 3rdpart rendering module - you'll ALWAYS have to try the epub in various readers - ADE first and foremost, as this is the engine used in most readers.
