I do not know how it is in other countries, or the English language, but for me (Dutch people) literature is not the same as reading books. Not every book (most books are not) is literature.
I also doubt if knowing more is always something positive. It can be a burden too. Life is way easier if you do not know everything.
If you read a book, read a real printed one. It is proved the brain does remember it way better as what we read on a screen.
