There may have been a topic with general advice for those with Kindles in the group, but I'll start a new one, since I just got a deal on one.

CurrerBell, on another thread offers:

Consider paying just a little bit of money for "Complete Works of..." in Delphi Classics. They're beautifully formatted with very comprehensive hyperlinked tables of contents (linking to each individual work in the collection and then, when appropriate, to each chapter within an individual work). On some rare occasions a "Complete Works of..." might not really be complete -- for example, D.H. Lawrence -- only because some works are not yet public domain, but they make this very clear on each individual product page.

But you might want to beware not just Delphi but any e-book of authors like Shakespeare. You'll find that verse and drama often don't format well to Kindle, which is best for straight prose.

And here's a link to my review of the new edition of Juliet Barker's Brontë biography in Kindle format, which I'm finding so much easier reading than the overweight treeware version.
