Headers/footers are a novelty, at first, and I'd rather not use them in ebooks I create and/or read.
They would be beneficial in Reference-type materials that cover a lot of different topics, i.e. with the current topic in the header. I've also seen an early Random House dictionary for the REB1200 which had the "Letter" of the section being read in the 'header'. Pretty, but not overly useful.
A 'footer' holding a TOC-like index IS quite useful though and is incorporated into my EBW1150/REB1200 Webster's Dictionary (1913).
