Citing E-Books

Do you know how to cite an e-book?

With more and more things online, it's harder to cite things like Kindle textbooks. Form varies for APA and MLA. MLA advises regular web citation format, like so:

Author’s Last Name, First Name. Title of Book. Place of publication: Publisher, copyright date. Source of eBook. Web. Date of Access.

While APA recommends including the specific format that you have, like so:

Last name, first initial. (Year). Title. [Version]. Retrieved from -source-

In addition, APA includes some rules on how to cite pages. Instead of putting a page number, put the major sections, like (Author, title, chapter, section, paragraph number) in the in-text citation. 

There are also ways to avoid your teacher's ban on e-books, but we'll save that for next week.

Hang in there!
