[Air-L] Citing from a Kindle

[Charlie Balch]

This thread is great read and I'm suddenly understanding why many of my
students refs have been awkward. 

I agree with those who think citations must change to reflect electronic
media that morphs content. I disagree that direct quotes are harder to find
that ideas - just put quotes around your search.

There's also need to consider constantly changing content from sites like
Wikipedia.

On a related note, I'd like to introduce readers to one of my favorite
software finds, PDF X-Change viewer is free, provides concordances and
annotations.  I have no association with the company other than to use their
software.

Subject: [Air-L] Citing from a Kindle

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?

Rich L.
