I've done this before, but it was a long time ago and I don't remember the caveats to making this work, nor do I have access to that project any longer so I can't really be of help. But I do wonder - can you just use one UITextView and concatenate all of your text content together? I do remember due to performance reasons this is what I eventually moved towards.
