I'm looking for a top-notch complete collection of the Sherlock Holmes mysteries by Arthur Conan Doyle, with the original illustrations. I've been having a devil of a time finding it. From Google I have a choice of PDFs in which every page is an image (and thus they load very slowly in my PRS-505), or epub files with so many OCR errors they make me cringe. There's a volume from Bantam Classics which collects all the stories, and is widely available, but as far as I can tell it has no illustrations. I bought a "Complete Illustrated Collection" from the Sony ebookstore, but it only has about a dozen illustrations, and has quite a few formatting errors.

Might anyone here know of a complete Holmes collection, with the original illustrations, which has been digitized well enough that it won't make me grind my teeth as I read it?
