"Excellent download"
Version: The Complete Shakespeare Reader 1.0
Pros
Clear print, easy to use
Cons
Needs bookmarking
-
"An excellent resource for all Shakespeareans."
Version: The Complete Shakespeare Reader 1.0
Pros
I welcomed the opportunity of locating words or quotations, either within a specific play, or more generally across the range of plays.
Cons
It doesn't include the poetry and I wish the site would specifiy the Shakespeare editions that are used.
Summary
I was offered a download whilst studying for an MA in Shakespeare and found it invaluable for locating quotations when I was unsure exactly from where they originated. Once I'd identified what I was looking for I was able to pick up whichever text I was using and find its exact location, although a mention of which edition was used would have helped to save a little more time. The site could be improved by including the Sonnets and narrative poems. However it functions as the best concordance that I have found online (although this isn't its primary function) and saves a huge amount of time.

"Good start, a few suggestions below"
Version: The Complete Shakespeare Reader 1.0
Pros
Quick, pretty comprehensive, free
Cons
Doesn't fit my screen - hard to get at buttons (full screen etc.)
In full screen, it would be good to be able to increase text size to take advantage of screen width.
Bookmarking would be a benefit. -
