My question was about pivot controls, how bad it would be to have more than seven pivot pages if there's a clear order or sequence in them?

For example an e-book reader that would use pivot control for chapters.

more than 7 pivots would be a lot for the user to navigate accross and could also cause performance challenges, if they have a lot of data. that being said it could work. I would encourage you to submit your design idea or app for a lightening design reviews, there's one every week: http://aka.ms/lightdesign
