Sorry to resurrect and old thread, but I'm an ereader-less newbie trying to figure out how to best populate the Kindle I got my girlfriend with a lot of her favorite classics. I don't mind paying for quality editions, but want to make sure I'm not just purchasing a hastily thrown-together version when there might be better options out there—as appears to be the case with HarryT's Dickens collection.
Are the classics collections on mobipocket ever sold at their marked price, or are they just perpetually on sale, with intermittent expiration dates to give a sense of urgency to those considering a purchase? They're currently offering a $20 price on classics collections from both MobileReference (2,000 titles, publisheded 2007) and PowerThink (3,000, published 2004), but I don't know how good either is.
Has anyone had experience with either of these collections, or would they recommend searching these and other forums for better editions? I guess the big problem is that I don't have a Kindle, so I can't try them for myself first. I mainly want her to have a good first experience with the device. (I'll be buying some copyrighted material as well, but consider the vast library of classics in one coat pocket to be the most exciting thing.)
