And yes, you usually know what you are reading, but sometimes you have many short books in a series, or by an author, and you don't always remember exactly which one you are reading. Other times you know you are reading "that book about pyramids by a Swiss guy", but how was the author named?, what's the exact title? Many people are ready to sacrifice 15 page turns for that info.



That goes without saying. Everything should be configurable, from font size to margins and headers.
If you only need the name of the book and the author then most readers provide an info button that provides this information. For me a header needs to provide the chapter title to be useful. I agree that headers, if present, should be able to be turned off along with other customizations.
