 Index is in location 1Dec 01, 2010
By A. Jacobson
I bought this despite the review that said that there is no index. The reviewer is wrong. The index is on location #1. It is easy to choose a particular book. So many to choose from...feel a bit overwhelmed with the choices. Have just started one of the later ones. Everything is working well. Great bargain. My only preference would be for another font.

Great buyDec 12, 2010
By Alicia Holder
A couple reviews said there was no index for this title. It DOES have an index. When the book automatically opens after downloading it opens at the "beginning" which is AFTER the index. Press previous page when it opens.
I don't know if I will ever finish all of these books, but I like having a few of my favorites at my fingertips in one file.
Items like this are my favorite part of having a Kindle. I don't think this could be accomplished in a printed form without being too heavy to carry.
The only downside I see to it is that, as a previous viewer noted, the font is not to my liking.

Complete Dickens...Dec 23, 2009
By Brian P.
May not be every single thing ever written by Charles Dickens, but it seems close enough. All the major works are here, and the table of contents works for me. I wouldn't rate this anything but 5 stars.

A Marvelous Collection!Dec 17, 2010
By Ms. Shy Funnybones
After pressing the menu, I clicked on "Go To" and selected "Cover." It took me right to the active Table of Contents where I could click on each book individually.
I agree with what others have said about the font. I find it helps to make the font a little larger and change the typeface from "regular" to "sans serif."
All in all, I am delighted to have on my Kindle all these books by such a wonderful author. I am starting with one of my favorites: The Pickwick Papers.
Edited on April 4, 2011: There is now a new Dickens collection available which is better than this one: It is "Complete Works of Charles Dickens--Absolutely Everything with Illustrations" (March 12, 2011), published by Delphi Classics. It is fine with the Kindle: it has an active TOC for each work (though not for each chapter), which I reached by going to Cover and then paging forward, and indeed this edition has "absolutely everything," grouped into these sections: The Novels, The Christmas Novellas, The Short Stories, The Christmas Short Stories, The Short Story Collections, The Collaborative Works, The Plays, The Complete Poetry, The Non-Fiction. It has wonderful, old illustrations, some photos, and pictures of historical material. Best of all, the font used in the works is much nicer than that in the above edition. In my opinion, this March 12, 2011 Delphi Classics edition is the one to buy!

 Poor presentationDec 24, 2010
By Ed Pegg
"Math puzzler"
I've collected about 100 Kindle complete works now. Sadly, this was one of the 3 worst.
The main killer for this collection -- Monospace font. The whole collection is in a large, unchangable font. Also, there are no marker bars between stories or chapters (active table of contents).
If the font was fixed, I'd add a star.
As for the writing, this is Dickens. Five stars for the content.
