Popular books around the same time period of e-readers would be highlighted the most?

If you're serious about literature you shouldn't even be using an e-reader in the first place. The stuff they're reading is WHAT IT'S FOR - the fleeting, uncomprehending perusal of merchandise.

what are you on about, exactly?

I try not to focus on asinine shit. I have my opinion in regard to the aforementioned books, and I understand and accept there are opinions other than my own. What is the issue?

Yeah, you can't look pretentious in public with a kindle. That's like 75.3% of the appeal of reading literature.
