is anyone familiar with the guidelines when it comes to citing a kindle ebook? do i just use the locations instead of pages?
thanks!

I wouldn't use the locations. It would mean everyone following your citation needs to buy the kindle version (as no other reading device supports this arbitrary numbering method). Instead, use the percentage. That can be mapped to the paper version too. Take comma percentage if the book is large (Some books are more than 10 pagebreaks per percent, meaning one page is 0,1 additional percent.
Thats the only citation method I would accept (and I am an assistant professor).
