Well, this depends on how your memory works. And when you read the next book from an author that you have a lot of books of it is not easy to remember which one you are reading since you often just takes the next one in the series and do not care for the title when you start reading the book.

Having to modify en ePub file to switch on or off a header seems like a very bad thing. These kind of thing belongs to the presentation layer and should be controllable from the reader.
