Right now header looks way too similar to the text. It really distracts me and I think what I am asking is pretty simple to do.

Many
paper books have book titles printed on headers on even-numbered pages, and chapter titles on odd-numbered pages. Why do the traditional publishers do that? According to your theory above, that practice makes even less sense. I read a lot of non-fiction books with MapleRead. The book title and chapter title display really looks nice and serves as a useful reminder of the context.
Having said that, I don't mind having an option to show only header or only footer, while dropping book and chapter titles as there may not be sufficient space, esp. on iPhones. But this is definitely not a must-have feature. I'm happy with the current header+footer combination.
Just curious, what really makes the book title distracting for you? Font-family, font-size (relative to your chosen text font size)? For me, I prefer a small title size vs. text size, which is the status quo, as I read in size 24px or larger on my iPad. Perhaps you read in smaller font size?
