A.) Even-vs-Odd pages?

Does this refer to first row should have 1 or 2 pages?

Well, it makes sense to have then even/odd pages. Consider, the user works on a
book/booklet where opposing pages make functional units (e.g. a table spanning
horizontally on the 2 adjacent pages; or a calendar; ...). and the 1st page is
some other stuff, not part of such a unit (because it being the first page is
really alone, see any book for this).

Then, the user wants to see:
   1
2  3 => make really sense together
4  5 => make really sense together
...

IF, on the other hand, the program will implement:
1  2
3  4
5  6
...
Then every view will be broken as the wrong pages will be displayed adjacent.

On the other hand, IF the program increments sequentially:
1  2 => 2  3 => 3  4 => ..., it still would be a lot of fuss for the user,
because he would have to change the pages twice, i.e. 2  3 => => 4  5 => => ...,
but at least he could have the right views (which in the previous situation was
not possible).

Therefore I strongly support having the option of starting with a single page in
the first row vs 2 pages.

B.) Matrices
I also strongly support having the view implemented as a matrix. This is
basically a consequence of my Adobe Acrobat-experience: when Acrobat encounters
a page that does NOT fit on the screen, everything gets resized, and this is
often quite annoying.

Having every row independently displayed and zoom-factors calculated, will
create various page sizes, which will be hard to read. Therefore, it makes sense
to have everything computed globally.
