[Air-L] Citing from a Kindle

[Peter Timusk]

You actually have to count the paragraphs, I believe. BTW this is hard work.
I agree with Jeremy's sentiment. I found after taking a full course on legal
citation style for Canadian legal scholarship that the last and hardest job
is citation in a paper. Often I had to drop sentences because I could not
find the citation to the idea. I now try to blog everything I read so I
don't loose these things so much.

Also there are still professors out there I am sure and thus reviewers who
may prefer a citation to hard copy rather than electronic. That's my
understanding of the preference order.

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.
