I usually set the background to gray and remove the border of textbox. It allows
me display 
significant amount of text without using up lot of screen real-estate and lets
the user know 
that it cannot be edited.

As for letting user select and scroll through the text, that is the idea behind
non-disabled 
text. (See original poster's question about why he/she doesn't want to use
labels.) Your idea 
works if the textbox can be sized to show all the text to be displayed.
