Yes that's likely the reason the publisher's decided to go for the lowest common denominator. Personally I don't care what limitations are in Kindle for iOS or mobi (etc), I've got an epub. But I can certainly understand the publisher's desire to do as little as possible.

Actually, no. I went back to the
Colour (sic) of Magic and it does really look like small-caps. Screenshot hopefully attached.
My Corgi paperback copies are buried under a mound of other stuff so I can't check them readily.
