Does the Parts option contain *everything* that was in the complete works single volume, but they're broken up into individual files for easier Kindle management/I can choose which books specifically I'd like to download? I'd rather have the ease of use of the Parts (and don't mind paying for it) but want to make sure everything is included.

Also, the site mentions that for $1 more at time of purchasing the Parts edition, I can get the entire thing as a single file. Why would I want to do that?

Obviously, I'm not "getting" something; your help is appreciated!

The only advantage of the "Parts" edition, that I can think of right now, occurs if you have your ebooks categorized and/or put under catalog headings (e.g., the Library of Congress') on your hard drive. With a "Parts" edition you have the book broken up into individual books, so you can move those individual books to different categories or put them under different catalog headings. Otherwise, you're stuck just putting the whole book somewhere, and you may not be able to find an individual book, which is of a subject that you're interested in, in that big book because you are not aware of its existence or have forgotten that it was there.

I hope that that makes sense. If not, let me know and I will try to make it clearer.
