Blooms translation is, of course, excellent, and it remains the most readable and best option to assign in a classroom setting. The Kindle version preserves that, which is why it gets several stars from me.Unfortunately the formatting leaves something to be desired. Most noticeably, the Stephanus page numbers (margin numbers) are placed at the end of the paragraph they're associated with. This means that for longer paragraphs, you often get a very interesting collection of them at the end. As reference points, then, they're useful only to give you a vague sense of where you are in the text, and they are meant to be far more precise than that.Other editions have these numbers in brackets within the text so that you know precisely where you are. That includes the Grube translation, and that includes translations of other works by Plato and other authors with standard paginations. I would strongly encourage the publisher to implement just such a scheme in a revision to this Kindle edition.
