The Riverside Shakespeare was, at one time, regarded as the "definitive" scholarly edition of Shakespeare (although that was for its scholarly annotation and notes, of course, which will presumably not be present in this free version). I'm sure the texts will be fine, although there are many free sources of "raw" text of Shakespeare's plays (PG, for example). It's basically a question of how comfortable you are with Shakespeare's use of language (can you manage OK without glosses?) and how good the formatting and navigation are (can you go directly to Act 3 Scene 2 of "Macbeth"? Is it easy to tell what's poetry and what's prose?).
