This paper addresses three issues affecting the attempt to teach digital literary texts in the classroom by observing their implications for pedagogical practice in the preparation of future teachers. The integrity of the digital object and its reception, which I call portability, is discussed through the modes of engagement with the text and its unlikely or difficult reproducibility as an aesthetic experience in the classroom. In the case of evanescence, both the access to the aesthetic experience and the study as criticism become problematic due to obstacles like geo-referencing, copyright issues, object transience, and obsolescence of software and hardware. Finally, the guidelines for the reading experience not only organize but also impose a priori limits to the perception of the literary object.
