especially for fake small caps, I download from one US site that puts its headings, captions etc in fake small caps, looks bloody awful on my android tablet using Aldiko or Coolreader - sometimes indecipherable. Fortunately their code is sensible, so its easy to fix.
Small caps okay if usage is limited to front matter but don't bother with faking it, just let it default to real caps.
IMO faking small caps is akin to putting plastic hundreds-and-thousands (US nonpareils) on your kid's birthday cake
