Unfortunately the good/great anthologies are not available as ebooks as far as I know.
The one you link too I've seen it appears to be a collection of public domain stories/fables/etc. -- particularly given the price. Based on the description is sounds like a number of good stories are included, but I don't see a table of contents....so I'm skeptical...reviews are pretty negative....but for $2....
My best loved anthologies are the Scribner ones (I have two different editions) but they are North American and the Norton One but they are paper.

Newer One with a few different stories:

http://www.amazon.com/Norton-Antholo...ogy+of+fiction
I have a number of other anthologies but would rate them as the 'next tier down' still very good though.
also there is a Norton anthology or world Literature:

and this:

(which I have - good stories)
This is a good one too:
http://www.amazon.com/Art-Story-Inte...tory+anthology
(We used it in the Goodreads short story reading group)
another good one, but "American" -
