That's good to know. I've purchased Mark Twain and Bram Stoker in the Delphi series. They both appear to be well formatted and fairly free of errors, and are good value for money.

Great site.

Probably not Public Domain, but one of the best Anthologies I've read lately is "You've Got to Read This" -- almost all great stories

Also the Norton anthology, but not available as ebook : http://www.amazon.com/The-Norton-Ant.../dp/0393975088
but very economical paper back and chock full of good stuff.

Yep, I love the Delphi works, but some of them are HUGE size-wise which make it very slow to open or search or go to table of contents, etc...

I thought I had replied to this thread at the time, but I can't see it anywhere, so thanks for the recommendations. I went for a Saki collection to begin with (Beasts and Super-beasts, I think it was), but then when I came to actually read it, I discovered that the Kindle app on my iPod no longer had any books downloaded - I think because I messed up an OS update and had to restore from backup - so I had to resort to my solitary iBook, The Life of Pi. I didn't even make it to the end of the introduction.

Anyway, it turned out that was my last session of physiotherapy, so I don't even have my waiting-room time to fill now. I redownloaded the short stories as soon as I was back in wifi, but I don't know when I'll next need to read them.
