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.
And if you were reading any eBooks with a pseudo element on your Kobo in ePub, it would not work. You have to read KePub for them to work.
