Hello

I was going to suggest the same thing, the only issue I have is that the range changes depending on what size you have your font. I particularly checked this as I read with my font 1 up from the default.

I'd also be interested in any suggestions, as I have been asked to Kindles.

Hi Elizabeth,

Here is something from the APA style blog:

http://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2009/09/how-do-i-cite-a-kindle.html

I have a Kindle and while ebooks don't have page numbers they have location numbers so a "page" would be at location 1234-1240 for example.
If you receive any other suggestions, I'd be grateful if you could share links.

Many thanks,

Angela

Subject: [lis-e-resources] Referencing an e-book from a Kindle - any ideas

Hi there
I've had a query from a lecturer about how he should advise a student to reference material they have read via a Kindle, given that the pages of the book on a Kindle do not necessarily correspond to those found in the print or even standard e-book version.  As I'm not familiar with the Kindle set up particularly (I don't own one and have just seen one in action a couple of times), I was hoping someone out there could give some advice.

Regards
Elizabeth
