The freebie Sony versions of Dickens are based on the PG sources which are, frankly, awful (eg "The Old Curiosity Shop", to take one random example, is missing two complete double pages of text, not to mention thousands of less serious errors).
I have spent the last two years thoroughly proof-reading the complete works of Dickens that I've created for MR. I'm currently about half way through the task; it'll be finished in another two or three years.
All the Dickens books you'll find here at MR are much better than the Sony ones, and the properly proof-read ones (the notes for each one will say whether or not it's been proofed yet) are as near to "perfect" as I can manage.
