I can't express just how happy/excited/ecstatic/in love I am with my new Kindle Fire! I have read more these past few weeks than I have in the last few months combined!
I'll be enjoying several of SLIS 5420's Reading List books in e-book format this semester. While everything I have read says that citing an e-book is just like citing a regular book unless the book can only be found as an electronic source- I am finding parenthetical citations to be a bit of a challenge.
For example, when I quote from my e-book, the "location" I am quoting from is not anywhere near the "page" in the real book! As great KIPPsters big and small say, "When there is a problem, we find a solution," I've decided on a hopefully clear-to-you-the-reader way to cite the pages in my books.
Instead of writing the actual page number in my citations, I'll be citing the location of them- in order to make it as easy as possible to find the quote/reference in your own text, I will include the total number of "pages" as well. For example, I will refer to a page as "Location 1571 of 1975" in hopes that you will be able to find my quotes if you so desire.
And, that is all.
