 You get what you pay for September 2, 2010

I'm not reviewing the book here, but the free Kindle version. In short: love the book, hate the formatting.
There are many typographical errors from simple typos to random line breaks in the middle of paragraphs, often following a title (Mr./Mrs.). For some reason the book is void of italics and emphasized words are in all caps, which is rather ANNOYING, don't you know? The errors haven't kept me from reading, but they are an irritating distraction.
If I knew of the slipshod manner in which this book was transcribed I would have just sprung for the $0.89 version. In fact, I think I will now.
 Austen's Best Work! September 1, 2010
When reading any Jane Austen novel you have to have a certain taste in literature to fully appreciate her work. If one posesses that taste they can not doubt that Pride & Prejudice is her best work.

Even better than the movie August 24, 2010
Steven Domingue (Austin, TX USA)
Even though I am a guy who had accompanied his wife through every film relating to "Pride and Prejudice," I enjoyed reading the book. Jane Austin gives details of the characters' thoughts that make the story, especially the development of the two main characters, convincing. The other characters are amusing and vivid. The dialogue is delicious with treats like, "Is not general incivility the very essence of love?"
In my Kindle version random line breaks occur. For example, one often encounters "Mr. [line break] Darcy," even when "Mr." is almost the beginning of the line. Although this is a little annoying, the Kindle version can't be beat for price and convenience.
Pride & Prejudice - Kindle version August 21, 2010
Barbara A. Bradley (Ozark, AL USA)
I enjoy Jane Austen as an author and I have always favored Pride and Prejudice. The digital version on Kindle has a lot of capitalized words that were not written that way and, with today's technology, it does appear to be shouting. Some of the words are missing half of the letters and one can only guess at what the word should be. The overall story remains one of my favorites.
My favorite book! August 12, 2010

This is my favorite book of all time. When I read Pride and Prejudice (at least once a year) it takes me to a time that I wish I could visit. The rich characters seem like true friends, and nothing would give me greater pleasure than to spend an evening with The Darcy's.
