Greetings everyone,

Let me say I've been lurking for while on MobileRead. I got a regular, non-touch Kindle 4 for my birthday recently and I love the thing. I only wish I had it several years go when I entered in university...

Now, I am using my Kindle for my Master's thesis. There's a ton of books that are far too expensive or far too difficult to acquire where I live and that little device has greatly eased my life, and opened the window towards new knowledge.

It seems commission that will review my thesis in a few months isn't thrilled (to say the least) about me using ebooks as a source. I need to cite the exact pages, however, and the Kindle doesn't support page numbers. As it stands, my thesis may be rejected...

Kindle Support let me know that this is an ebook specific feature and only some support it. My two questions are:

1. What is the store that has mostly ISBN-page number supported ebooks? Speaking about geopolitics, international relations theory, security and intelligence and such?

2. I see there are a number of authors/publishers here. What is considered the appropriate way of citing from an ebook that does not support page number?


So, dear fellow MobileRead users, please help me on this one! As it stands, my thesis might be rejected on the grounds simply that some citations lack page numbers (even though I've provided proof that I actually have the books and extracted the citations using the Kindle's feature to mark and extract text)...

I would be very grateful for any help and advice!
