No point in reviewing the content, as everyone already knows the content - the format leaves a little to be desired. When I first opened it, it went to a Table of Contents which only included the comedies. This page included a 'link' to "Table of Contents" but that only came back to THAT page. Moving forward page by page I was taken to 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' (they're alphabetical by title) and once there the only ToC I could get was the listing of Acts/Scenes for that play! I was finally able to access other works by searching for 'Hamlet', which included a link to the FULL Table of Contents.I can't complain about the price ($.99) and I'm glad to have a reference copy of the complete works, but it's hardly user-friendly, hence the middling rating.

Always good to have a compilation of Shakespeare on hand -- but this particular edition doesn't really work well on a Kindle. Don't get me wrong -- it is, indeed complete, just no footnotes or line numbers and other kinds of annotations you'd expect to come with reading Shakespeare. Haven't seen this book in a hard copy, but I don't recommend it for Kindle.

Cannot tell which play I am reading once I pass the title page. Difficult to navigate to table of contents to find out; must keep paper notation to keep track.

's Kindle edition of the Complete Works of Shakespeare is certainly worth the download because--'zounds!--it's SHAKESPEARE! It's kind of cool and very convenient to have all of the Bard's works fit into a large jacket pocket and not have to lug around a heavy tome. The plays are organized according to genre (comedies, tragedies, and histories) and listed alphabetically, and the table of contents makes for easy navigation within the canon. Woe to thee, however, if thou seekest any commentary, background material, or glossary for the works as no such creatures do inhabit this edition. And, if bare-faced truth may bespeak itself without offence, the odd typographical error doth, upon occasion, present itself. But thou gettest what thou payest for, and at ninety-nine cents it's well worth the price.

This is a classic. However, the layout is dreadful.For me the single biggest mark against it is that the search function borders on the useless. When a reader cannot find classic quotations, something has BADLY misfired.Tthe works deserve 6 stars! This format deserves 1.

The formatting makes this book difficult to read. For example:- Too much space between lines- Too few words per line when one character continues speech- Line numbers corresponding to a different sequence than apparent by the text- These very same line numbers are plugged at the end of a line like this4So, sure, it's got Shakespeare, but ugh, the formatting makes it taxing to read on my Fire. Not worth paying for. I sure hope I got this free.

That the best of any literature can accompany one on a Kindle wherever s/he goes is just about miraculous. Never is there a moment that needs lie fallow with this wondrous compendium of belles lettres. Were I to get another edition, I think I'd choose one that was annotated, but this one is just wonderful.

it would be nice to have a title before each play. I do like it but i do not know what play is being read.
