I would be very appreciate that the Read activity can have a "single"
paginge key binding that advance one page w/o changing the zoom size
and positioning of one page in screen. (that's what the "next" and
"previous" icon do, but no key binding) I also see many PDFs with
large margins. It would be quite a waste to show them all in a small
screen.

Both "normal" evince and acrobat reader has "contineous" and "single
page" mode. Advancing one screen length or one "page" should be of no
ambiguity in either cases.
