I have a customer who wants her local newspaper (.pdf) published as an native iPhone app. I tried to talk her out of it but she wants it to “be cool, with trend and with fancy page flipping – native iPhone app” (…and who ever pays the bills right :/) Nevertheless, is there an easy one-click solution to bundle the PDF with a simple eBook reader and create a XCode project or native app I can upload to the AppStore?

It appears this is called an “eBook framework” or “tablet publishing”
free:
which supports PDF and page flip, very beta, forks support zoom and orientation (vergy buggy)
which supports HTML5 and CSS3 animations (also see the Laker fork)
commercial:
also have a look at this, it appears that Adobe and Quark Xpress support iPad publishing too.
