Using PageViewController for a large number of pages like camera roll image view?

I am trying to create an app for which I need a way to swipe through views. For example, while swiping through images in photo stream or camera roll. I DO NOT need to swipe through images however, I need to swipe through UIViews. I have been looking at PageViewController. However, setViewControllers:direction:animated:completion: suggests that I need a ViewController for every UIView. This doesn't seem to be what I want since I will have over 40 views that I will need to scroll through. I think I'm missing an obvious ios feature here since even iBooks has a way to go through pages of books.

I was thinking maybe having 3 ViewControllers and changing their content whenever I swipe across. But that seems very roundabout.

Please help me out! Thanks!

Apple has provided a fairly robust example of doing this kind of thing with photos called "PhotoScroller" at http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#samplecode/PhotoScroller/Introduction/Intro.html. It uses UIScrollViews and CATiledLayers to recreate the experience of the Photos app. You may be able to modify it to work with your UIViews instead of images.
