I remember using GoodReader' double-page mode on iPad a couple of years ago, double-page restriction was for iPhone only, if I remember correctly.
Yep, in most cases there is really no use of using double-page mode on 10" screen for the plain reading of textbooks or technical documents, because it makes letters very small and also increases the amount of operating memory used and the possibility for out-of-memory crashes, except for some smaller comics like manga and some smaller sized A5 books.
As for the mentioned difference between 9.7 and 10.5 screens, some could really find it beneficial reading one-column A4 documents (17-19 cm text width) on 10.5 screen, because its landscape width is about 1.7 cm (0.66 inch) longer, 2224 to 2048 @ 265 ppi, so, we can get even more magnification with zoomed page without margins (compared to paper document) than on 9.7" screen.
Of course we can use a reflow mode instead (using Goodreader, Foxit etc.) when letters on 9.7 reader are to small, if we don't mind different page layout after reflowing to original pdf or ocr mistakes for ocr-ed pdf scans.
