Sure. The ebook is written in LaTeX and I use the background package with the following configuration options to add the message to the book:

\usepackage{background}
\SetBgContents{Prepared exclusively for Peteris Krumins (peter@catonmat.net)}
\SetBgAngle{0}
\SetBgScale{1}
\SetBgOpacity{1}
\SetBgColor{preparedfor}
\SetBgPosition{current page.south}
\SetBgVshift{0.5cm}

The preparedfor color is defined by the help of xcolor package:

\usepackage{xcolor}
\definecolor{preparedfor}{HTML}{787878}
