Can you create code for a large first letter that works with a Kindle so the first line of the paragraph has the same height?

Ummm. Not true. I exclusively use ePub 2 as I haven’t gotten around to learning ePub3 yet.
Yes, I can, and do. I’ll take a screen shot and post it when I get home.
Edit:
Looks like you changed your comment while I was writing mine
. You had said that code was only good for ePub3, which is not true. We’ve had this discussion before where you think pseudo-selectors are only ePub3, they are not.
Also, here is a screenshot from my phone. I used the above code, ePub2, and have a large first letter, small-caps for the first line - all with no spans or forced uppercase.
Edit-Edit:
I'm not sure what the MR rules are about an excerpt from a copyright book. The copyright notice in the book says brief quotes are allowed for book reviews. So, I'll put a quick review here if anyone is interested.

I'm only on Chapter 7, but so far it has grabbed my attention. Aliens, space ships, politics, teachers... Great Job! Other than an eyebrow raising, heart beating, ohhh 'I'm all a-twitter' beginning of Chapter 2, it's been clean... I'd say mid-tweens or higher.
