YES!
The eBookwise 1150 and REB1200 both support running headers and footers using the 'oeb-page-head' or 'oeb-page-foot' style.
In our
EBook Publisher wiki, you can find reference to sample code that will generate headers, namely:
Code:
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
header {display:none; display:oeb-page-head}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<header>
<table border="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td align="left"><small>PUT_TITLE_HERE</small></td>
<td align="right"><small>PUT_AUTHOR_HERE</small></td>
</tr>
</table>
<hr>
</header>
<p>EBOOK_TEXT_HERE</p>
</body>
</html>
This HTML code similar to the one used by GEB Librarian or my Mobi2IMP to produce running headers. Important parts are '''header''' in <style> and '''<header>...</header>''' inclusion after <body>. You can re-use the '''<header>...</header>''' code again to redefine a new header, say for each Chapter Title. Then, to later remove headers, just use an empty pair '''<header></header>'''.
It works quite well and has been used in many commercial ebooks from Fictionwise/ebookwise.
Also, I recently discovered
in this post that the 'oeb-column-number' can automatically display two column newspaper style text even though the source text in the .html is linear.
