}
And it is probably a good thing that they don't support it, because I accidentally left the markup above (complete with "This is a test") in some books that I shipped.
Shudder.... I think I just spit up in my mouth a little bit....

If I ever bought a book that used the above code...or anything that forced me to lose my precious reading realestate...I would return it and demand my money back.

There are a few apps/readers that allow a user to CHOOSE to display a title or chapter name at the top of a page... but IMHO using CSS - or hard coding it into the book - is a big no no.

It is very easy to tell which book/chapter you are reading if you are curious... people do not have to have it shoved in their faces on every page. [/rant]
