Inkscape doesn't support multi-page documents (although it's often requested) so you can only open one page at a time. You can however copy other pages and paste into the document with the first page, but that's just if you want to have it all together for editing, you won't be able to save it as multiple-pages document.

Inkscape is a volunteer project, it may take time to implement certain features but it will be done eventually (it's on the roadmap) http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php ... _Animation
