[This review--which somehow seems to be attached to several different versions of Jane Austen's works--pertains ONLY to the PALMERA edition currently being sold for $1.99 in the Kindle Store.]Austen is great, and this collection (from Palmera) is equally as great. It is complete and particularly well-organized. Content is easy to locate via several active TOC's (both a general and a specific TOC for the set and an individual TOC for each title), and it is nicely-formatted. Furthermore, I like that paragraphs are indicated by traditional indention rather than spacing. I'd go so far to say that, as of this date, this is probably the very best Austen ebook set currently available in the Kindle Store. It does, however, have one tiny flaw.
Despite the publisher's statement in the Kindle Store blurb that original edition italics are used throughout ALL books in this set (a claim necessitated by the fact that so many OTHER Austen ebook sets TOTALLY ignore and omit them altogether), italics are nevertheless still missing from ONE book: "Northanger Abbey." Granted, they are somewhat sparsely used in that particular work, so their absence in this instance is not utterly terrible, but when ANY words Austen chose to emphasize to better make her point are not properly indicated, some nuance of intended meaning (however slight it may be) is lost. This is all the more disappointing because this enlightened, well-intentioned publisher tried to do the right thing (and has largely succeeded), and it is by no means a deal-breaker, because (thankfully!) 5 of the 6 major novels ARE properly italicized (the aforementioned title being the lone exception). Compare this to the otherwise pretty wonderful "Delphi Complete Works of Jane Austen" which uses italics in only 4 of the 6 major novels ("Persuasion" and "Northanger Abbey" being the two exceptions). Choosing between the two sets is admittedly difficult because, italics aside, the Delphi set has some features I like very much; hitherto it was my favorite Austen set (but now I must confess, presently THIS one is).
Jane Austen ranks VERY high on my list of all-time favorite authors, and I have previously purchased more than a few ebook collections of her works in my quest for the elusive, definitive, perfect one; in other words, a "true keeper" to read, re-read, and savor. Yes, I am something of a perfectionist, but I don't think it at all unreasonable to expect in an ebook edition that which virtually every off-the-shelf hardcopy and paperback edition of Austen has: ITALICS. Mine ALL do, and I want my Kindle copy to have them, too. (I guess I have never become inured to the myriad defects seemingly inherent in ebook production.)
Nevertheless, this Palmera edition is nearly perfect as is, and it is superior to every other Austen ebook set I have purchased or sampled. This is definitely the one to get.

The Complete Works of Jane Austen edition by Jane Austen Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Formatted very nicely. The electronic version controls work very well. Have found no glitches. This version has color illustrations, which are very nice. It also is a complete collection of Austen's works. All for very cheap! Really very happy with this purchase. Worth every penny and more.
This is a very thorough edition. I am sure I will be going back to this again and again. The fact I don't have to carry around a large volume as this is a kindle edition is a plus for me. -Michelle
While all the material Jane Austen wrote is wonderful, the work of genius, I rated the book a bit lower because it is very difficult to navigate. The book could have been better organized and categorized.
This edition is complete with hyperlinks that work, combined with charming illustrations...it really is lovely to have all of Jane Austen's works so conveniently at hand! I've read most, but not all, of her works, and this edition is the best ebook edition I've seen, by far! Perfect for my iPad!
This e-book is very nicely formatted. For example, there is a link at the beginning of each chapter to take you back to the table of contents for the particular work in question and another link to take you back to the table of contents for the entire anthology. Very thoughtfully laid out.
This was a great purchase for my kindle! The books are so easy to navigate. Each chapter heading includes a link to the main table of contents, as well as the book table of contents. The illustrations are included in each book, and there are no typos that I have seen. I have enjoyed reading persuasion and northanger Abbey on my kindle. I look forward to reading all the rest!
This is a very complete collection of Jane Austen's works, including letters, mediocre poetry, prayers, juvenilia, unfinished works, and a memoir written by her nephew.
The conversion to was done very well. At the beginning of each chapter, there are two links one to the main table of contents, which has just the works, and one to the table of contents for the work you're reading. The table of contents for the Juvenilia leaves something to be desired, as it's hard to differentiate the individual items.
The charming original illustrations are included. These look better on a tablet or computer than on an E-ink reader. I wish there had been a separate index of illustrations so I could have seen them all in color after finishing reading the books.
