Wow, these are really interesting. Generally, I shy away from compilations because of the size issue, but they seem to have gone to a LOT of trouble to provide illustrations and multiple versions/translations of everything. I kind of like that from a "want it in my library for ease of searching" perspective.

On the other hand, the Jane Austen collection is large enough that it crashed the Calibre viewer the first time around, and the S&S pictures are culled from such a variety of sources that it's almost...jarring to see them in the text. The girls' appearances keep changing from picture to picture, and I don't think I like that.

I think I'll still buy a few more. The KJV Bible seems very nicely formatted and Mom will like that. And I do love that they have a few of the more "obscure" classics on their site. Delightful.

Bah, and now the Twain book is crashing my Calibre. Mmph. I like to think Twain would appreciate the irony of the situation.
