[Smt-talk] e-book questions

<<<Walter Everett asked: Does anyone know if such devices are capable of indexing to allow references to passages for purposes of scholarly citation or assigning readings?  >>>

Kindle has "location" numbers that can be cited. Some people evidently prefer to cite material on E-books by chapter and section, rather than by location. If one is determined to cite a page that can be found in a hard copy of a book, one can perhaps "cheat" by looking up the text on Google Books; through such means, even if only a snippet view is available, one might be able to discover the relevant, analogous page number in a hard copy book of a passage read on a Kindle Reader. For a discussion of these matters, see http://booksprung.com/how-to-cite-a-kindle-ebook .
