If you use Calibre, convert the book to the new AZW3 format or select "both" as the MOBI file type on the Mobi output settings dialog box in Calibre. (If you plan to sell the book via Amazon KDP use KindleGen.)

The old .mobi format doesn't support dropcaps and embedded fonts, but the new AZW3 format does, however, you'll most likely have to tweak the dropcaps code for AZW3.

Kindles can display .pdf files, but only display them well, if they have been optimized for 600x800 displays.
