eBook Shakespeare Recommendations

kansaskyle · 02-15-2017, 12:14 PM

Can anyone recommend a good eBook version (ePub or AZW3) for Shakespeare whether a compilation or individual plays, sonnets, etc.?

I'm not opposed to paying for a well formatted version that includes a good table of contents.

I saw this question asked a couple times on Mobileread in 2008 and 2015, so I thought I'd see if any new releases came out that folks would recommend.

I know you didn't ask for it, but if you have an Android or iOS device, "Shakespeare Pro" is an awesome app. It (of course) has the complete works, but also includes an integrated glossary, searches across the whole library, notes and highlights, study materials, chronology, statistics

Wow, cool app, I downloaded and am trying it out on my Android-based phone.

Thanks

Also take a look on the edtion from Delphi Classics. Note that there is a "Parts Edition". That means that you get all his works as one file plus all items as individual files.

Just noticed that these have a half off code; see this thread.

The best individual versions of the plays that I have found are the RSC (Royal Shakespeare Company) versions. They have very good introductory material for each play plus the best annotations I have found in a Shakespeare ebook.
