A Book in an app

A Book in an app

I'm creating an app for iOS which is very simple. Taking contents of a
book and put it in a slide menu where each page is a menu item. The title
of the page is the menu item name and when you click on the item in the
menu the content of the page shows up. So when you open up the app there
is a little button on the top left hand side which slides over the list of
all pages. You click on the page and the content show up. Now, what I've
been doing is that for every single page I've created a ViewController
screen and within that screen I have UITextView. Now for a book that is
400 pages, this is a lot of work. I'm new to iOS, so posting this design
problem to see if there are better simpler suggestions. Thank you.
