Changing preferences in the calibre from "Paged" mode to "Flow" fixes the problem.
I have not been able to recreate the issue in Calibre 3.x. Likewise on my actual Kindle paperwhite it displays fine.
so I'm left to guess it is either a Calibre problem, or something weird in the CSS or html. While I'm no expert in either, they both look fine to me.
Code:
.pcalibre1:first-line {
text-transform: uppercase
}
Code:
<body class="calibre" id="I3QM0-42e1df17df8e45d499273e237de08784">
<div class="calibre5" id="calibre_pb_17"></div>
<p class="part" id="calibre_toc_11">Jelaza Kazone</p>
<p class="p15">• • • • • • • • • • • • • • •</p>
<p class="pcalibre1 p5">“Last I heard, it was better to be doin’ something than doin’ nothin’,” Clarence said into the silence that followed Theo’s account of her meeting with the portmaster.</p>
This is the beginning of the first chapter, but the others are much the same.
note that class pcalibre1 attempts to set first line to all caps. if I comment out the body of pcalibre1 the problem goes away (along with the caps).
here's what it looks like on the page:

Thanks in advance!

It appears to be a calibre viewer problem. This is what i did:
Quote:
.pcalibre:first-line {
/* text-transform: uppercase;*/
font-variant: small-caps;
}

Using the unmodified epub shows normal in the server viewer.
