Comments from the publisher:
This page mixes reviews for two books: one published by MobileReference and another one published by Packard Technologies. It is unclear which review corresponds to which book. We assure you that MobileReference book formatting nicely follows verse structure as long as you adjust the font-size to level 1 or 2. At a greater font-size some lines may be split. The MobileReference book was carefully checked for accuracy and completeness by a team of experts. The latest version was released on August 10th, 2008. Please download the Free demo that includes two comedies and a poem.

As a simple country boy from way down here in "Lonesome Dove" country, maybe my opinion doesn't have the weight of those judgments from great experts, but for my purposes this Kindle edition serves my needs completely.
Just for the fun of it I used the book's table of contents to, (A) select King Henry VI, part 2, (B) then from the menu for that play, go to Act 4, (C) Browse ahead a few pages, and (D) BINGO!! There is the famous "hang all the lawyers" quote I was looking for.
What more could anyone want?

This is a completely unacceptable Kindle edition of the works of Shakespeare. The formatting is all messed up, with awkward "hard returns" throughout. The beautiful flow of Shakespeare is shredded as a result. I hope that Amazon.com can come up with a better version than this!

I've bought about four or five of these complete works collections from this publisher. They are all exactly what they claim to be: the complete works of the author. For someone who doesn't want to be nickeled and dimed to death, these are a phenomenal value.

Before I purchased this collection, I asked for the free sample. Sadly, the sample included no excerpts from the plays, only the sonnets and poems. My fear had been that verse lines would be poorly formatted. After all, verse formatting is problematic for even the best printed editions of Shakespeare. Actually, the verse formatting in this edition is tolerable, and to some degree dependent on the font size you have selected. But the prose formatting in the plays is unbearable. For some reason, prose passages are formatted as verse, with line breaks in really strange places -- regardless of the font size you choose. Amazon needs to do a better job of providing representative free samples and of ensuring the quality of the works they sell.
