For the first one, I would say: There is rubber around the pen at the finger hold that allows the user to grip the pen well. For the second, in casual usage "in one go" would be fine, or "on my first try". I'm not sure what you are asking about "centerfold" as you spell it the exact same way both times.

- The second sentence in the second grouping is correct as, "I didn't have to skim through to find the centerfold.
- I'm not sure what the question marks are about after the period, unless they relate to your following question about centerfold or centerfold, which I also don't understand.
