Two years ago I did it in a kind of 'book' layout: see the LAMM  
project at http://www.sosmartsoftware.com/?r=logiciels&l=en
As the user could change the text size, I had to reorganize it on - 
the-fly and calculate 'text flow'.
The only thing I remember well is that was tricky ;-)
I ended by having a single card with one (or two) field containing  
the whole text (without scroll bar) and just set the scroll  
programmatically combined with a visual effect to 'fake' pages turning.
So I did not use what you call 'flds continuing' but two fields only  
even if a wipe left/right let the user think the 'card' has changed.
May be a clue for you?

Best regards from Paris,
Eric Chatonet.
