Make of it what you will.

Thank you for your efforts to locate a text.
I found the Wikipedia link but that text looks like it would be very unpleasant to read. The Pevear and Volokhonsky translation in PDF looks better on the screen and claims to be--as you say--in the public domain. But it, too, would be a strain on the eyes as well as being difficult to navigate. Personally, I don't think I would like to read and study an extended and complex text under those conditions--interesting as the novel undoubtedly is.
The Kindle version would be ideal but is expensive.
These are just my own thoughts. Others, of course, may feel very differently.
