Having to modify en ePub file to switch on or off a header seems like a very bad thing. These kind of thing belongs to the presentation layer and should be controllable from the reader. |

What I would is the book to have the header & footer and have a per-book option to display them or not. Having to modify the code is not what I meant. I want ADE to allow me to control it from within ADE.

And yes, you usually know what you are reading, but sometimes you have many short books in a series, or by an author, and you don't always remember exactly which one you are reading. Other times you know you are reading "that book about pyramids by a Swiss guy", but how was the author named?, what's the exact title? Many people are ready to sacrifice 15 page turns for that info.

It's only been in the last couple of months that I've been making my ebooks with headers --- never bothered to do it before, and never thought I'd want to do it. But once I started doing so, it began to really grow on me.
I find adding the headers aesthetically pleasing, and it truly helps "burn" or "reinforce" into my brain that I'm reading such and such by so and so. It's like having 400 or so subliminal reminders per book --- and, all in all, I think it makes the experience more memorable, enriching, and rewarding (or something like that!). Of course, if you have an eidetic memory or a certain mental vigor --- I supposed this is all a series of moot points... |
