As a sighted reader of books, I never notice the
headers. I go right to the text. I rarely notice the
page numbers, either, unless the text I'm reading
suddenly doesn't make sense. Then I look at the page
numbers and realize that I've skipped a page in my
page-turning (sometimes the pages, especially in
paperbacks with thin pages, have stuck together).
Once, the pages were actually missing, and I had to
request another copy from the library.
