Yo Jeff -- yes it was definitely the RSC version that I was referring to. Thanks for the info on the complete works version. At $26 it is definitely cheaper than all of the $3 single versions.

I did break down and bought the Hamlet version on Kobo. After an initial quick look I would say it is just what I was looking for.

The annotations work great on my Kobo Glo HD reader. Not only do you get a clickable footnote number but the whole word or phrase in question is a clickable link and displays in italics; so it is very easy to touch. Plus, as a kepub ebook, the footnote is displayed as a pop-up window and very easy to dismiss.

A couple of concerns about the complete works version:

1) With such a large book, there may be performance issues while using the ereader
2) The single play books have a lot of specific articles and commentary about the play before getting to the play itself. Hopefully, the complete works would include all of that extra material for each play.
