I used UIScrollView this way for an instructions pane in one of my applications. It worked but I was unhappy with the result. I then switched to using a UIWebView and have been much happier with the result. It handles sizing the scroll view automatically, I get all the formatting capabilities of HTML and I can have links that go to additional information (or external sites) with no more than adding another HTML file and maybe some delegate code. Here is the code I used (and I added the HTML file to my app as a resource):

NSString *path = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"instructions" ofType:@"html"];
NSFileHandle *readHandle = [NSFileHandle fileHandleForReadingAtPath:path];
NSString *htmlString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData: [readHandle readDataToEndOfFile] encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
[self.instructionsView loadHTMLString:htmlString baseURL:nil];
