@RbnJrg
Thank you for this working solution.
Only one downside (beside the hassle to get the margin-corrections right for the embedded font): if the user selects a different font on the Kindle PW (I tested this on my rig) the cap's position is wrong as the margin offsets seem to be dependant on the font metrics.

@HarryT
Could it be that simple? No - I did some testing. Even with <big> you get additional leading in the line. <big> isn't that big on the PW, so not much leading is added and you could say "it doesn't matter".

I really don't do fancy formatting. But to see a simple things like raised caps (with css) not working as expected is a KF8-"pita"!
