I'm really glad someone is working on this.

Is there a plan to offer the option to the user to browse sites as a 
collection of pages instead of as a single long scroll?

I think this new view mode would be useful both for web designers - who 
could then find problems in their styles - and for end users - who, given 
the above stated problems, could try it before printing to check if the web 
pages would print well.

Actually, a paged presentation could find more uses. For example, an 
appropiately constructed web page could function be used for a presentation 
with page oriented advancement, or it could be browsed more traditionally 
otherwise.
