Tried Inkscape? I was all paper for a long time but it's taken over as I've gotten used to it an the hot keys. I carry a little Wacom tablet that works good with it too, but seldom even get it out of my bag.

It does have a (configurable) fixed page size, no ability to multi-page which was kind of annoying but I started thinking of it as a feature as well.

Inkscape does have multi page, now, if you still want that.

have you come across scribus?

you don't have to use all the desktop publishing features, but it does have multi page, flows the text from page to page, some basic vector drawing etc.
