Here's what Purdue has to say about it:

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.

Thanks,
However, I do not immediately see paragraph numbering in Kindle (This is the PC version). Perhaps it is a feature of other e-readers.

I just attended a Capella University colloquim and this was a topic
that was raises.
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.
