If you have a chapter heading to enlarge I think you can just ignore that first word or make it standard capitalization. That is something that is done for sighted readers as eye candy. I think it is supposed to be visually appealing even if I have never seen anything visually appealing about it. It could be worse though. I have seen books in which the initial letter of each chapter was an image decorated with vines, flowers, snakes or what have you. I never saw anything much visually appealing about that either, but I suppose it was done that way for that reason anyway. In a case like that you would have to change the letter to something readable, so I would think that you would treat capitalized letters the same way. I am not so sure that mere capitalization would make them unreadable, but it is not likely to be the way the author wrote it, so I would think that you could just leave it or change it as you prefer.

Hi, what is Bookshare's policy about chapters where most of a sentence
is written in all capital letters? I think the book I'm working on has
the most of the first sentence in every chapter in capital letters, I
mean, every letter in the words is capitalized. I don't know if that is
done for emphasis or not. I suspect the printed file is like that
throughout the book. What should I do about it, leave it alone or redo
the first sentences so there is only one capital letter per word? I
remember when I started out that I had a book which was like that and I
left it alone. Please advise. Regards, Kim Friedman.
