I have decided that it's high time I read War and Peace. I am in my mid 40's and it's been on my "to be read" pile for 20 plus years so I've decided to follow some advice I read to "live it" and I'm going to read a chapter a day.

My question is, has anyone read the kobo version that comes in the 100 free books? I am loath to open it in case it has terrible formatting or the chapter breaks are wrong - and I don't fancy paging through to the end! Is it a reasonable translation with minimal errors, or am I better to buy one or source a better version?

And if anyone wants to join me, I'd love to have some company...we can live War and Peace in Russia for the next year!
