It's just for my own consumption, I'm rather particular about how I like my books to be formatted on my e-reader. I also prefer the pseudo element for first-line because it dynamically adapts to the first line. I did use <span> for a while early on, but I really didn't like how it looked to have the first 2-5 words defined and the rest of the line looking different. Plus it was a lot more work to go in with <span> for the first paragraph of every chapter & first paragraph after every ornamental/section break.
Though speaking of books for commercial sale, I've actually seen a fair number of them that use the pseudo element for first line, so *shrug*.
And I have it set up so that all my epubs are sent to my kobo as kepubs, so it's not a problem for me to get them to render. I figure I'll stick with using kepubs as it's less work to use a pseudo element than to manually break up html files in the editor to get a page break.
