I guess they're like Gutenberg's books.

You're right. They are formatted, but only minimally, compared to the majority of Sony's catalog.
I'm one of the people in the minority here who like Sony's formatting of their books. These classics take the same formatting; unfortunately, there is sometimes a space between paragraphs. However, that's only a minor complaint for me. (They don't do that with the majority of their main titles.)
On
MobileRead, you can find the same titles, but lovingly assembled by a number of people here (to include myself). We take pride in our work and most of the titles look incredible. They are also hand-assembled, which cannot be said of machine-generated LRF files (Sony's native format).
I'm thinking specifically now of
Harry's work here at MobileRead, on
Burroughs,
Edgar Wallace,
Jules Verne, and
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, to name a few. His work is of incredibly high quality and they look great.
I hope you enjoy the books from Sony and from MobileRead.
