Media Queries for images as dropcaps in Kindle DX
You can insert images as dropcaps in KF8, and float the text around it. I have just realised that it is not only Kindles 1 and 2 that don't support KF8 but the much more recent Kindle DX as well. So my question is: is there a way to use media queries to be able to make the images appear as dropcaps in KF8 and for a large letter to replace the images in mobi devices?

I know you can use media queries for different formatting of text but what about determining whether div tags containing images appear or not, and replacing them with a large first letter?

I have a related query about Small Caps. According to Kindle Previewer, small caps don't appear on mobi devices such as the DX - the text just appears as lowercase and upper case. Is this correct, or just a shortcomings of previewer?
