iPad apps take old literature to new levels

In the past two weeks, two re-creations of classic literature have launched on the iPad: an app for T.S. Eliot’s famous poem “The Waste Land” and another for Jack Kerouac’s “On the Road.”
The brash, rollicking road trip of Kerouac may seem a better fit for the hyperactivity of a multimedia device. Instead, Eliot’s dense, confounding poetry burst out on top of Apple’s best-selling book app list , offering an immersive experience that is surprisingly worthy of its $13.99 price.
