They work the same as epub dropcaps, which are a bit of a hack work. Raised capital letter at one point, then lowered on the bottom. They work differently than 'native' support in kfx, where top of the capital letter is in line with top of the row. They tried to make a big deal around them, with new formatting when Amazon announced it. But I really wouldn't fess much about that, they're a bit of a gimmick in kfx as well. Not without flaws when it comes to different fonts and font sizes, and it's not quite easy to make them to work when editing books.
Top: KFX dropcaps. Notice how they become out of line when different fonts are used, and how text flow is off at third row because of extra tab space that would not be used if manual typesetting was used.
Bottom: print dropcaps
