[Smt-talk] e-book questions

[Walt Everett]

Hello everyone,
I've never tried an e-book reader.  Today after class, a student told me they'd purchased a textbook for their Kindle only to discover it's not paginated.  Does anyone know if such devices are capable of indexing to allow references to passages for purposes of scholarly citation or assigning readings?  If not, perhaps some convention for this exists or could be devised using a search function?  Also, if anyone's considered this issue as part of writing a book with a potential e-market, I'd be very pleased to hear any thoughts about this, on or off the list.  thanks!  best, walt everett
