If you're interested in seeing what the RSC Shakespeare looks like, here's a page from "Antony and Cleopatra", and the corresponding page of annotations that you go to when you tap one of the links. The number alongside each annotation is the number of the line in the scene (again, the same as the printed version). I should add that these screenshots are from "Kindle for PC" which has huge margins and line spacing! It looks a lot better on an eInk Kindle.
The annotations are identical to those in the printed text, BTW.
I was wrong in saying that the "Complete Works" doesn't have annotations: it has the same annotations that the individual plays have. What the "Complete Works" doesn't have is all the auxiliary material that's in the individual plays: essays on history, performance notes, and so on.
As a matter of interest, where did you see that an ebook edition of the RSC Complete Works is coming out in Feb? I'd be very interested in that, but I see no mention of it on amazon.co.uk.
