Heh, could see where this would be a problem when there are no "page numbers" per se (and since people are still confused about how the Kindle determines "location") ...

I think best bet would be to actually look back to past examples like quoting Shakespeare or King James Bible. Reference by Act, Chapter, Line (Sentence?) or by Book, Chapter, Line ... "Line" at least would still be valid for poetry and plays ...

Of course, referencing Finnegan's Wake this way would be ... problematic ...
