I tried using html plugin but the size of the image changes when you switch from iPhone simulator to iPad. Is it better to use a word doc or a PDF doc? The only trouble with PDF doc is you need to making the writing in quite a large font for it to be readable on iPhone but then is quite large on iPad. Any help would be great!

The background images will give you the option to use an image for Small Device (iPhone, iPod etc) and Large Device for (iPads etc) That way you could use it along side your content.

Put the JPEG image as the screen background (and don't put anything on the page. The beauty of this, is that you can have two files, one for iPhone and one for iPad and you can state in the control panel that there is different background image for small devices and large.
