Drop caps work on KF8 format, but you have to fiddle with the formatting to get them to line up properly.
With KFX, you just set the size (which, admittedly, is still a bit of a pain, as it's nowhere close to the same number as in KF8 or EPUB) and the Kindle handles all the alignment, so that the drop cap has a baseline that is even with the baseline of a line of text, and the top lines up with the top of the first line in the paragraph. Spacing between the drop cap and the text is also automatic.
KFX uses a method similar to the
initial-letter property but with fewer features. I hope that Kindle conversion starts to support
initial-letter soon.
