I do the same. Though I instead of using small-caps I actually do it the hard way by making them uppercase then decreasing the font size to 80%. Its ideal and takes time doing a bunch of GREP search and replaces, but hey the client sees what they expect to see.

So basically I code for iBooks knowing that if it displays in iBook then there is a very good chance it will display on other devices
