I wouldn't be surprised if Kindles do the same in at least one (maybe more) of the Amazon book formats.
Kobos are certainly able to display true small-caps by using the industry standard method of embedding a suitable font in the book. I'd hope Kindles would be the same, but I don't know.
There are tricks you can use on a Kobo (kepub or epub) to avoid font embedding by referencing a sideloaded true small-caps font with suitable CSS. It's probably more effort than most users want to be bothered with.

I realize it has been a few years, but could you be more specific about what that would look like? I've been trying to get sideloaded kepubs to display proper small caps using kobo_extra.css and I can't get it to work, even though the font I'm using contains the proper features.
