Kindles have a bug where it won't render space (margins, padding, etc.) correctly at the start of the HTML file (chapter start, etc.), and also incorrectly collapses anything rendered as blank space (like  
along with actual whitespace.
It's likely caused by not special casing the "don't show blank space at the top of the screen on page turn" logic. This makes sure that if something like a scene break paragraph starts at the top of the screen, the blank space isn't needlessly rendered. That is a case where you do want to treat as if it was actual whitespace.
The workaround is to put a paragraph at the top of the page, and put content with
visibility: hidden; styling.
