@JSWolf --

1. you are correct about your formatting recommendations. I'll include some of them in my 'standard' css file that I use to re-format ebooks

2. spans would work, but wouldn't EVERY <p> need <span> tags around the first letter and/or first line?

Seems like a lot for work, and I thought that was what a style sheet was for. Esp when I saw how nicely Sigil handles things like :first-letter, etc.

I was just trying to maximize the use of the tool and to minimize my work.

I'm sure that there's a regex that could be made to work, but I was hoping there was a more Sigil-compatible reader for the PC. AFAIK, once Calibre converts the epub to AZW3 format, the actual device can handle it, but I really haven't gotten to the point of extensive testing there yet.

But I appreciate the feedback and the suggestions
