Misling - I verified with Delphi Classics that the mobi editions are also DRM-free. Initially they were contemplating including DRM, but then realized that the classics belong to everybody so the books are DRM-free both in the current mobi/prc format and in the epub format whenever they may become available.

Overall, the books are well-formatted and relatively error-free. I've seen some random formatting problems in some books which appear to be a carryover from the text format (hard carriage returns at the end of each line, which shows up poorly when the line is of a different length), but so far I've only seen this in direct quotations where the text would be indented. Also, some of the poetry appears to cause a problem. But overall, the books appear much better formatted than most public domain books, especially ones where you only pay a few dollars for dozens of books. Paging through the books, I've enjoyed many of the illustrations I haven't seen elsewhere, not to mention the inclusion of some very minor works not readily available.

For $2 or less, it seems to be a fantastic bargain, even if the books aren't 100% perfect on every page.
