That's not why in this case. The problem is that the Kindle does not respect line height of a small enough value and thus you cannot lower the raised line height. So you cannot lower the raised line due to a raised letter on a Kindle or Kindle app.

Any software that reads ePub and respects line-height will allow you to fix the line-height for a raised letter.
