Hi Notjohn;
The opening quotation mark in spanish books, is replaced by an "em" dash ("—"). However, there is much more in spanish. For example, when someone formulates a question, is used an open question mark to start (the question) ("¿") a sign that is not employed in english; the same thing occurs when someone makes an exclamation, the open exclamation mark is used ("¡"). Of that way, in spanish books is quite common to start a sentence with "—¿" or "—¡". So, even when I could ignore the "em" dash, I can't do it with the opening question mark or opening exclamation mark. Regrettably for me, Amazon only focused in the english language when set the rules for drop caps in the .kfx format.
