The essential thing is for Marvin to allow us to treat "pages in
book" in the same way that Marvin has
always treated "pages in
chapter", for 5 years running:
screen flip = page turn. That's the only thing that matters in this regard, and everything else is unimportant.
If, in addition to giving us this
natural page-count option, that is consistent with how Marvin has
always calculated pages in
chapters, Marvin also introduces 1000+1 fully arbitrary, abstract, alternative "page" schemes such as the current one, or Jon's beloved ADE "pages", etc. etc., I wouldn't mind that at all. I'd simply ignore those abstract "page"-count options, in all likelihood. But
before you give us any of those arbitrary schemes, please first give us the
natural page-count option, the one that's consistent with how Marvin has
always calculated pages in
chapters, for 5 years running.
