I stand corrected. Well, here's what we have (Mobi links where available since the OP is for a Kindle product):
  1. Tom Jones by Henry Fielding
  2. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
  3. Guy Mannering by Sir Walter Scott
  4. Vanity Fair by William Makepeace Thackeray
  5. David Copperfield by Charles Dickens
  6. The Mill on the Floss by George Eliot
  7. The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne
  8. Rappacini's Daughter in Mosses from an Old Manse by Nathaniel Hawthorne
  9. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving (LRF)
  10. Omnibus of works by Edgar Allan Poe which should contain the three short stories
  11. Selected stories of Francis Bret Harte which will probably contain the three short stories
  12. Jim Smily and His Jumping Frog by Samuel L. Clemens aka Mark Twain (IMP, but bilingual)
  13. Portrait of a Lady by Henry James
  14. Notre Dame de Paris aka The Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo
  15. Old Goriot by Honoré de Balzac
  16. The Devil's Pool by George Sand
  17. Letters from My Windmill collection by Alphonse Daudet which may contain the five short stories
  18. Volumes 1, 2, 3 of short stories by Guy de Maupassant which should centainly contain the two short stories
  19. The Sorrows of Young Werther by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (LRF)
  20. The Rider on the White Horse by Theodor Storm (ePub)
  21. Anna Karenina
  22. Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky (LRF)
  23. A House of Gentlefolk and Fathers and Children by Ivan Turgenev
  24. A Happy Boy by Björnstorne Björnson
Here's what we're missing at PG or via Bartleby, in case anyone wants to give it a go, tidying up and adding a hand-formatted version to MR:

  2. Rip van Winkle in The Sketch-Book of Geoffrey Crayon by Washington Irving
  3. The Man Without a Country by Edward Everett Hale

  5. Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (I think we have this in German, not available in English via PG)
  6. The Banner of the Upright Seven by Gottfried Keller (we may have this in German; not available in English via PG)
  7. Trials and Tribulations by Theodor Fontane (may have this in German, not available in English via PG)
