When i create an ebook i don't care much about "beauty". I can look at my wife if i want see "beauty". The reading experience seems to be much more important: formatting, base font size, using the avalaible space so good as possible, fixing errors in the text, and so on.
I don't get it...wasting space for showing the book title on each page because a reader might want to know which ebook is open on the reader? All devices i'm aware of are able to show a "currently reading"-hint. If one thinks it's a good idea to read four or five books at a time then using bookmarks might be a good idea too. Well, i know that design is always a difficult thingy. Different people, different point of views.

Another idea: We could at least release an additional edition of each ebook formatted for people with visual impairments. Big base font sizes, no headers and no footers. Just well formatted text using as much space as possible. This would be a good thing.
