Disabling/limiting multi-page mode

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I've discovered that Readability works nicely with http://bookworm.oreilly.com, 
an online Epub reader.

I am in favor of the new multipage feature for stitching together e.g. news 
articles, but in the context of reading novels, I would prefer to view one 
chapter a time. Using readability when viewing an ebook at Bookworm now loads 
the entire novel! It is entirely predictable and reasonable, but it makes me 
wish there was a configuration option to opt out of stitching (or to set the 
maxPages limit yourself).

FYI, by adding the following bit around line 128 of readability.js, the 
bookmarklet can be customized with a readMaxPages variable to control the 
maximum number of pages to stitch together (set to 1 to prevent stitching - 
useful in the case I describe above).

if(typeof(readMaxPages) == 'number' && readMaxPages >= 1) {
    readability.maxPages = readMaxPages;
}

Hi Jim,

Thanks for this. We'll give it some serious thought - we try to eschew too many 
options, but this might be one we need to provide.
