Which version should I get? I've never read it before and I want to make sure I read the best. Apparently Shelley made many changes so there are multiple versions?

I use a kindle, was just going to grab a version off bibliotik.

Are the changes not that significant then?

just don't read the letter that bookend the novel until afterwards
they were probably written by her husband and it shows (she's a much better writer)

i'm not saying don't read them at all, but let yourself try the novel she wrote first.
