This is well done and worth checking out. The only thing I didn't like is the strictly linear route to all articles, whether you're interested in every article or not. But I don't think that takes away from the accomplishment.

There's a nice "jump to section" UI at the top. But you're right, there's no article list.

But there's no article list in a real newspaper either. Although it has better browseability.

Many of the iPad news apps have functionality similar to this, but also give you a 'front page' like a website. For instance, the USA Today app allows you to browse the 'front' page, but once you select a story, a flick to the left or right moves to the next or previous story, while up and down scrolls the current story.
