Wow, I am excited. Poetry ebooks are hard!

You might find my post on the subject to be useful

Basically, the American Verse Project has high quality html versions of classic American poets
http://quod.lib.umich.edu/cgi/t/text...author;value=w

(but not Whitman, curiously enough).

You might find this Whitman archive resource to be useful
http://www.whitmanarchive.org/manuscripts/index.html

and especially this essay
http://www.whitmanarchive.org/critic.../xml/anc.00150

I think PG uses the Deathbed edition, and some scholars say this is not the best or most interesting edition

This sort of TOC is a good reason why Sony reader needs table support (or some way to jump through a large number of hyperlinks).
