I can confirm, I have a normal ebook version of Oxford 2nd edition as well.

That and the RSC version are my 2 go-tos, RSC continues down the First Folio-based path that Oxford agitated for (though not strictly so; RSC includes, for instance, the Second Quarto “star-crossed lovers” prologue to Romeo and Juliet, albeit annotated to indicate that it's not part of the FF rendition).

Norton and Bevington are fine choices too, at least on paper (I don't have them in electronic form or know whether they're available).

Avoid Arden; the Arden individual plays are excellent, but the Arden complete works removes most of the commentary and is of limited value.
