I loved Literature classes in high school. There was some analysis, but generally my teachers stressed characterization, plot, setting, etc. However, beginning with first year at university, the symbolism began, and my interest and the magic of literature began to fade. I've always loved Robert Frost's comment about writing what he meant without having everything symbolizing something else!
All this to say that I still enjoy a lot of "classic" literature, but I'd rather read it on an Ebook than on a Pbook any day. It's easier to hold, you don't lose your place, you can have a really big library without taking up half of your walls, and as you get older, you can easily increase (or change altogether) the font. All hail the Ebook!!
