@v1k1ng1001: Do you have a link to the Bloom translation? It that the Penguin edition?
Just search for "Republic Bloom" in the Kindle Store and it'll pop right up. The footnotes are awesome!

I've not read through the Sachs translation because it is so new but he is a knockout translator of Aristotle. Too bad his books are not available electronically. His approach is to work against the way in which the orginal sense of the Greek has been "Latinized" by centuries of formulaic translations.
