hello, all. i have a general, cross-platform issue, and i am not sure where to post. i work at a publishing house and the execs want our ebooks to have running heads to remind readers what they are reading and who wrote it. it's my understanding that running heads are a factor of the device, and that the publisher has little control; however, it's that little bit of control i'd like to know more about. for the devices which support running heads, what metadata do they access and how is it used? i'd like the answer in a nice grid, please, showing which ereaders do what... haha, just kidding. i know it's not that nice-and-neat. whatever you can do to help (including helping me move this to the correct thread) would be terrific.
