How good is the Project Gutenberg edition?

Ahi;

Just pulled down the Amazon DFRE $.99 version, a Kindle-specific version, and it is poorly done. The typeface is light, the fully-justified type is not well implemented, paragraph spacing is odd... it could be the style of writing, but there are no breaks where there should be, and huge breake where there doesn't need to be.

BUT, the Amazon version DOES contain footnotes, but they flow as part of the page, so you read every footnote before you continue on with the narrative. It may work for you if you are looking for an eVersion with footnotes.
