Various: The Holy Bible (KJV). V2.1. 27 Jan 2014
This is based on the King James Bible in the Project Gutenberg archive:
http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/10 Features of this version:
This is an AZW3 file for the Kindle and tested on the K3, K5 Touch and the PW1 using the default Caecilia font at the minimum line spacing setting. After trying different approaches, I decided to use images to implement the dropcaps. I know this is frowned upon for various reasons but it seemed to work best with different fonts. I used em units for the image heights and they scale well with varying font sizes. See the last two screen shots to compare at different font sizes. The dropcaps can easily be disabled in the CSS and the original characters unhidden: Code:
.dropcap { display: none; } .first { display: inline; } http://www.1001fonts.com/goudy-initialen-font.html This font is free for personal and commercial use. All the glyph images are the same size so there should be no need for individual styling. For different fonts and line spacing, adjustments will most likely be necessary. For example, if you are using Caecilia at the medium line spacing setting, use the following CSS: Code:
.dropcap { float: left; height: 4em; margin-top: .5em; margin-left: -3px; } Epub version here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...79#post2749679 Version History:

KF8 is really a Kindle Format as you knew. Therefore it belongs in the section for Kindle Format books which you seem not to know. I will move it for you.

Thanks. Somehow I got the notion that only MOBI/PRC were to be posted here. It was an honest mistake.

No harm done. It used to be called mobi and we renamed it specifically for this reason. mobi and prc are both still welcome of course. Kindle folks wouldn't look in other unless they were looking for a PDF.
