Harry, do you have the Delphi Complete Works of Shakespeare, and if so, what do you think of it?

I don't think a great deal of it. For me, at least, Shakespeare is an author I need help with in terms of word glosses and so on, so personally I'd always buy a commercial version from a publisher who does Shakespeare well. |

Good point. I’ve looked at some, including the ones you mentioned, but they all need to be read on tablets. I was hoping to find a good collection readable on the Oasis or Kindle.

That and the RSC version are my 2 go-tos, RSC continues down the First Folio-based path that Oxford agitated for (though not strictly so; RSC includes, for instance, the Second Quarto “star-crossed lovers” prologue to Romeo and Juliet, albeit annotated to indicate that it's not part of the FF rendition). Norton and Bevington are fine choices too, at least on paper (I don't have them in electronic form or know whether they're available). Avoid Arden; the Arden individual plays are excellent, but the Arden complete works removes most of the commentary and is of limited value. |

You can buy the Oxford Shakespeare from Kobo in the US and the UK. For the Kindle, you'd have to strip the DRM and convert as it's ePub 2.
