What is a kf8 format? I'm sorry to ask what may be a stupid question, but I'm kind of new to the ebook "business", and I still miss lots of base knowledge.
Anyway, this is how I "work":
1) Edit the content with Sigil
2) Make sure everything looks right in Sigil viewer
3) Open the epub file with Calibre or an ebook reader on my tablet (Moon Reader) and make sure everything looks right
4) Convert the epub to mobi with KindleGen (I've been using calibre for the conversion but it was making a mess)
5) Check the mobi file with Kindle Previewer (and find out that everything looks ok except the small caps!)
Thanks again for the help!

PS. yes, all the text that supposed to be in small caps is written in lower case letters.

Hi ricroma;
The .kf8 is the new amazon's ebook format supported so far by Kindle 3, Kindle 4, Kindle Touch, Kindle Paperwhite and Kindle Fire. So, the older Kindle (Kindle 1 and 2) only can read .mobi files and not .kf8 (.azw3) files. If your device is a Kindle 3 or newer, then you should be able to read .kf8 files and see text in small-caps.
You are doing all well, but maybe you are not choosing the right device in Kindle Previewer. Choose Kindle Paperwhite as your device (and not Kindle) and you should see the text in small-caps.
