The problem isn't your lack of knowledge and experience. It's that it's impossible with the current formats and rendering devices to get a satisfactory result.
The root of the problem is that there's no way to specify the size of the drop cap in terms of the leading applied to the body text.
Amazon apparently fiddle this in their new KFX format, but they probably do it in a device-specific way.
Until Amazon/ePub specs allow an explicit way to define drop caps, and sufficient devices have adopted the new system, there's no satisfactory way to do drop caps.
