Thought I remembered something like that.
Thanks for the links, I didn't know either that they agreed on an ebook-citation method.

On page 15 , she says:

Let’s say that you were reading a book for class, and you remember seeing something important in a paragraph that you sort of remember was on a page that also had a picture of a fish. You flip through the book, and you see the page, but it’s not a picture of a fish, it’s a picture of a whale. But you found the passage, and you read it again, and you remember it this time. [...]

This is actually why I hold ebooks as vastly superior. Too many times I read a book, and had to write an essay, and I recall "I remember it being near her baking a cake", and it is impossible to find "cake", or that section ever again. With an ebook, I can just search for every single reference to the word "cake", in about one second. Then I can COPY/PASTE (not have to retype out of the physical book word-for-word) and get on with my life.

I have often thought the same, (especially since so many books actually do have *Real Page Numbers, at least give the
restricted option) but you can't help everybody.

What page is that on? My Kindle has different pages, so I can’t find the passage we’re talking about.
