When it comes to public domain, this is where Amazon Classics imprint is helpful, especially if you subscribe to Kindle Unlimited. They almost all include an audiobook as well.

And often I will just get the Delphi Classics (Complete works, collected works etc.) edition. I've started getting these direct from them, where you can get 'parts edition' and .ePub versions. They update them as things transition to PD, or to improve quality.
