Sorry to say so, but they are full of mistakes and they have bad or no l layout . I highly prefer the Delphi Classics ($3 per author, often illustrated, occasional mistake). Of the free books, I think Feedbooks has the best ones.

Just out of curiosity, have you looked at Project Gutenberg books that were created in the last five years or so, especially ones that were created by Distributed Proofreaders? Most of the early PG books were created by individuals with no real standards, sometimes from multiple editions of books, and the DP folks have really tried to do a better job of it. I agree that they don't always achieve it. It's also unfortunate that the PG webmeister seems to have opinions contrary to that of most of the volunteers.
