Here's what Purdue has to say about it: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/717/04/ Electronic Books and Books Consulted Online Electronic books are cited exactly as their print counterparts with the addition of a media marker at the end of the citation: Kindle edition, PDF e-book, Microsoft Reader e-book, Palm e-book, CD-ROM, etc. Books consulted online are also cited exactly as their print counterparts with the addition of a DOI (or URL) at the end of the citation. See also Books . Note: Stable page numbers are not always available in electronic formats; therefore, you may, instead, include the number of chapter, section, or other easily recognizable locator.

Perhaps it is a feature of other e-readers.

When referenceing and e-book since page numbers can adjust with font size and other issues is to use the Chapter/section title and paragraph number instead of page number. Stephen R.

Dear all,
I have started to download some academic books onto a Kindle account. It is ok for reading and for noting different thoughts as I read.
However, since there is no page numbering, how do you cite the location of material in the books when you include it in your own work?
What are the requirements for in-line cites and for the bibliography?
Are the line numbers unique for Kindle and there is another set for the Apple iBooks, etc?
What is a modern scholar to do?
