My apologies if this is already well known. I just couldn't find it explicitly mentioned anywhere, and the mobi2imp thread explicitly says that running headers aren't implemented. Maybe it could be incorporated into the perl script?

It is good to see example coding put into practical use. Thanks for sharing this.
The next release of mobi2imp should have this 'Running Headers' feature. I wanted to lessen the impact of loosing that space at the top, so I devised a way to elimante the following <hr> and use color to differentiate the header from the text
I will implement in mobi2imp, this additional style:
Code:
<style>
header {display:none; display:oeb-page-head; oeb-column-number:1}
</style>
Then will place this code after <body>, for the header to appear:
Code:
<header>
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td align="left" bgcolor="#B0C4DE" style="font-family:smallfont">PUT_TITLE_HERE</td>
<td align="right" bgcolor="#B0C4DE" style="font-family:smallfont">PUT_AUTHOR_HERE</td>
</tr>
</table>
</header>
Please note that by placing this AFTER <body>, the margin settings are inherited and properly displayed. The 'smallfont' use may be optional.
It adds a bit of color (grayscale for 1150 owners
).
By the way, bgcolor="#B0C4DE" is LightSteelBlue, but I also like, bgcolor="#FFDAB9" (PeachPuff) and bgcolor="#F5DEB3" (Wheat) as being non-obtrusive.
