First, full disclosure: I haven't yet read the actual stories in this Kindle version.  However, over the years, I have read about 75% of them in good, old-fashioned print.  Also, I already had a different digital version of ACD's complete works, but it pales in comparison to this version put out by Simon & Schuster UK.  So grab this while it's free because it's easier and much more convenient to read on Kindle than by holding a bound collector's edition (trust me on this because I have one of those as well).The formatting is very clean and the text easily readable, especially with the new Times New Roman font for the stories themselves.  The best (for me at least) is the Contents Page with working links; I checked a couple randomly and they were accurate.  ACD's works are separated into "Novels" and "Short Story Collections".  Given that the titles are not listed alphabetically, I'll have to assume (without checking wiki) that they are listed in chronological order by publication date.However, the introduction by Robert Ryan was a bit of a disappointment.  He spends the first 1/3 discussing the characters of Holmes and Watson as revealed by certain of ACD's works, but then smoothly (and most definitely) segues into a discussion of how he researched and fleshed out Watson as the main character for his own book.My only true (but nominal) complaint would be the extra blank lines between the paragraphs.  Seems like a trivial thing but the extra clicks on your Kindle really add up after a while.  And I always wonder why this is done when I can't recall ever seeing the same thing in print.  *shrugs*FYI, towards the bottom of the copyright page, thanks are given to Project Gutanberg [sic] "for providing the text to compile the works".  So very little re-inventing of the wheel.  (And yes, I did a mental wince at the misspelling.)  In addition, instead of the actual cover, this download uses the title page twice.  (In both, "With an Introduction by Robert Ryan" is inserted in a most unusual and awkward position.  Can't help but wonder if this is a UK preference.)
