That too is easier if the books are single (it would take forever to read through the whole of Dickens, for instance!) and I don't want to have to re-read books I have read already and know are fine just because they are in one of these compilations and haven't been checked.

I got the following email from
Delphi Classics today that addresses this problem (somewhat
); it's only for the Dickens' works and I think they're in mobi format:

Maybe they'll eventually go that route with the other collections ...
