You have to be realistic: you aren't going to get an annotated version of Shakespeare for $3. At that price these will be public domain texts.

As I mentioned, the RSC Shakespeare series is available in ebook form, and has all the usual footnotes, etc, that one would expect. But it costs a lot more than $3 .
