Hey, so this was just one of many layouts and it seemed to be the "cleanest". There's a straight up list layout that we have that would have worked as well, which I almost went with. We've thought about font resizing, but do you think that's needed when everything is "in focus". ie- no need to zoom in away from ads or to see the rest of the article.

Yes, it's needed. People with less than perfect vision appreciate being able to zoom in on small text to make it more readable. A few other things that are needed (and work in the non-Onswipe version of pages): 1. Rotating the iPad to landscapes houldn't trigger a choppy relayout that takes five seconds. It should show the exact same content as in portrait mode, zoomed to fill the width of the screen. Users can then decide whether to zoom out and show more content, or stay zoomed in to take advantage of the increased horizontal resolution. 2. The back button should work. Pro tip: If I tap the back button 20 times, and nothing happens until the 20th time, the back button is broken.

Zoom is absolutely needed. I'm glad that OnSwipe is experimenting with different ways to view articles on the iPad, but when I find anything that disables pinch to zoom–one of my favorite features on the iPad–I get frustrated and leave.
