Don't ask why, I don't know, but I had the urge to read it, and it was strong enough that I hunted out the books in the attic... Heh, I know this urge well, particularly of a certain kind of favourite childhood/teen books... on Christmas Eve, I dug out the ancient copy of Erich Kästner's "Das Fliegende Klassenzimmer" I inherited from my father, one of my hurt/comfort comfort readings since childhood (along with a few other Erich Kästner volumes and Krabat by Otfried Preußler. Do you know any of these?) Unfortunately the copy is that old that the pages are about to disintegrate, so I treated myself to the ebook, and decided to get the whole Käsnter ebook edition, too, as I love to re-read most of them every few years.
I'm mostly unfamiliar with Anne of Green Gables, but got interested a few years ago, and downloaded it from gutenberg.org. I haven't started anything so I don't know if the editions are also faulty, but it might be worth checking out if you still care about their digital form.
