Ah well... that I guess I can live without. But I'd sure like it!
So I decided to try the Olivetree app on my ipad and all the Bibles I got (mostly free) had the books listed atop each page. So if you really need this detail while reading, and I surely do, AND if you're running off an ipad/ipod, you might want to give that a try.
That said, I bought and like the ESV Study Bible from Amazon more than the others I own. Nice job putting it together.

To have "the books listed atop each page," the viewer software has to support headers, Amazon's viewer (both the applications and the Kindles), has no such support. The header support could also be included in the format. The closest workaround that I have come up with is to put the name of the book at the beginning of each chapter. I could of course insert the abbreviated book name in front of each verse but I think it would be too distracting while reading.

I've reported the ESV and ESV Study Bible having DVJ-2 some time ago in this thread and on
my blog. I did not do the conversion for Crossway, they did it on their own. They also included my trick with chapter/book navigation.
Yes, you have to call Amazon CS if you want to update your earlier version of any book, not just ESV. It's because the update deletes all the notes and highlights that you might have in your existing book.
