The best place to get classics is Delphi Classics. Do a search on the Kobo (or Amazon for that matter) bookstore and you will find several or Google Delphi Classics for the source.

They publish "complete works" of out of copyright authors. The books are put together with a table of contents for the entire list of the authors works, and individual works have a second table of contents. The books cost between $1.99 and $2.99 USD (I don't remember what they cost in Euros).

It's amazing how many writings many famous authors created when you include all of their short stories, plays, essays and personal correspondence. What you pay for is the convenience of having the entire library collected for you, all of it indexed via multiple tables of content, images from the era relating to the aurhor's work, a brief biography of the author, etc.

If you only want a single book then something like the Mobileread library makes good sense, but if you want to go into depth with an author then these are well worth the 2 or 3 dollars.
