Paperwhite seems to be supporting creditable small-caps for some time. However, any attempt to use it is spoiled when a publisher uses hacks to approximate the small-cap effect: like typing in ALL CAPS then inserting <small> or <span class="sc"> across a handful of words or across each separate word. Sort of takes the fun out of the device support for both that font property and the pseudo-elements.
To undo all that hacking without the effort of clearing that hack code, while (supposedly) leaving the hack for non-conforming devices, I use this CSS prophylactic: undo what the <small> or <span> do and then transform the result.
Example:
h2 ~ p:first-of-type small {
/* negate common hack */
text-transform: lowercase;
font-size: 1em;
}
h2 ~ p:first-of-type::first-line {
font-variant: small-caps;
font-size: 1em;
}
