For the price, this book collection is obviously a great deal. When I received my Kindle, I was already in the process of reading Wuthering Heights, and I therefore wanted the e-book to continue my reading. I was pleased with the price, as well as the inclusion of the other Bronte novels, as I wish to read Jane Eyre next.

However, I was disappointed when I received the book because there was no table of contents. Luckily Wuthering Heights was the first part of the collection. Attempting to find the beginning of the other novels is difficult. I tried searching "Jane Eyre" and was only given instances where her name was mentioned in context. I had to choose one of those and page backwards to find the beginning of the book. Also, within the books themselves, it's nearly impossible to find the chapters, although the chapter headings are clearly labeled.

Also, I recall that in my text version of Wuthering Heights, explanations of certain words were included in the footnotes, as well as the translation of certain characters' dialects. These are not included in the e-version (although the description never indicated it would, and therefore one should not expect the footnotes). The word descriptions were useful but not necessary. However, without the footnotes, I have a very hard time understanding Joseph. I would like to see other versions available with footnotes.

I've just re-read Emily's and Charlotte's books for the umpteenth times. Sweet, summer reading. I'm about to embark on Anne's, which I've never read. Thank you for putting them in Kindle form.

I bought this book mainly for Wuthering Heights. I had seen the movie and was very interested to see how close it was to the book. Great book! Always better than the movies. I've seen Jane Eyre but have not read it as of yet. For the price it was an amazing bargin. Well worth it. Will update after I read Jane Eyre, but if it's better than the movie it ought to be great.
