Beware: AFAIK many of the most commonly-available English translations are not very good. It's a pretty common problem with 19th-century foreign language literature generally, in fact. The public domain's full of translations that are simply poor, and/or retain a lot of cruft from 19th or early 20th century English style that aren't vital to conveying the meaning or tone of the original work, and so are less approachable to the modern reader, to no real purpose. Probably any big ebook collections you find are going to be re-packagings of translations of this sort, from Project Gutenberg or wherever. His French isn't too tough if you read that, but some of the English translations you see in the wild—oof.
