All other texts: As the challenge here is extensive reading, the format you choose to read the texts in is immaterial. You will find all the texts online in their entirety. You will also find many of them in various anthologies. With the pre-1800 texts in particular, I would recommend the use of an annotated edition, but this, too can be found online (for instance here: http://www.shakespeare-online.com/plays/ ) .
