I've purchased over 10 of these complete author collections from this publisher. These collections work superbly on the Kindle. Take Mark Twain. The collection includes huge number of Mark Twain's works all in one place, searchable and well-organized. If I would have purchased all these books separately, searching for `The Gilded Age' among hundreds of other books on my Kindle would be a nightmare. With Mobile Reference collections, I simply click `Works of Mark Twain', then click Novels> `The Gilded Age'. I can also click `List of works in alphabetical order' > `G' > `Gilded Age'. If I forget the book title but remember that `The Gilded Age' was written by Mark Twain early in his career, I can click on `List of works in chronological order' > (1873) `The Gilded Age'.

If I want another author, say, Charles Dickens, I click `Home' > `Works of Charles Dickens'. If I want Dostoevsky, I click `Works of Fyodor Dostoyevsky'. I think this format is perfect for organizing books on the Kindle.

Inside collections, each book has links to chapters and footnotes. The text is nicely formatted and seems to be complete and accurate - something that cannot always be said about inexpensive ebooks. I think these collections are great bargains both in terms of saved money, time, and book organization!

Does the Kindle not support italics? Sorry I mean _italics_. This gets four stars instead of three because I was in the middle of reading Tale of Two Cities when my Kindle 2 arrived and switching over was just too cool to be overly upset about a minor formating error.

Upon first acquiring my Kindle2 this collection was my first purchase. I was delighted to find that it is indeed the complete texts for the works of Charles Dickens. The table of contents makes it easy to navigate this substantial library. I immediately began reading David Copperfield and found the added convenience that every tenth chapter has links to any of the next ten chapters. This gave me some added mile markers by which I could note my progress. I found the text to be very accurate and well formatted. The only things I noticed in this area is the all caps for italics as noted in other reviews and from time to time a new paragraph was not begun when the speaker changed. This later occurrence was infrequent and is easily overwhelmed by the masterful writing and stories herein. For less than $5 this collection could not be passed up and I believe I got more than I paid for. I highly recommended this collection both for its completeness and storytelling without equal. So far I have read four of Dickens major novels and 3 of his short stories and have yet to find anything I don't love. Dickens cannot be missed!

Charles Dickens. Meh.

Not! The man does verbal gymnastics that would sprain a lesser man's brain, yet weaves stories that still sparkle and resonate some 150 years later.

This Kindle edition is easy to navigate, and the text seems to be complete and accurate, something that cannot always be said with inexpensive editions of classic authors.

I love Charles Dickens, and if you feel the same, give yourself the inexpensive treat of this fine Kindle edition of his collected works.

The answer is certainly yes. The Kindle format continues to amaze and impress me with its ease of use, and more importantly, with its guilt free reading function. The guilt free reading function is the one where you can read a hundred pages on a Kindle, never look at that particular book again, and never feel guilty about having spent $15 + shipping on something you don't intend to complete.

The Dickens collection is wonderful because even if you're big fan of England's second greatest author, you're unlikely to have so many of his works, especially some of the more obscure ones such as "American Notes," which is a journal of his 1842 trip to the U.S.A. This Kindle edition gives you that excellent piece, and of course much more.

The only down side is that the Kindle will, if you hit the wrong button, take you back to the Home page or back to the complete list of all 200 works, so you can end up doing a bit of detective work to get back to where you left off. This isn't a problem with single-book Kindle editions.

This is another example of how the Kindle has, overnight, made vast and important literary collections instantly accessible to the ordinary reading public without having to make the public library your second home, or impoverish oneself, or devote thousands of square feet at home to musty, smelly, roach-loving old books.
