Preloaded eBooks include U.S. Department of Education suggested Reading List:

Romeo and Juliet
Macbeth
Hamlet

Moliere, Tartuffe OR The Hypocrite

George Eliot, Silas Marner

. . .

Homer, The Odyssey

Careful you'll start a discussion of the merits of each book. Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens instead of David Copperfield or Nicholas Nickleby?

I agree that e-books are a natural in education for literature, but I will be a long time and a lot better rendering of equations and formulas before e-books will make inroads into other subjects.
