"Look Inside" is a feature that Amazon offers on some books - it allows you to search within the book and actually see the scanned page of the physical edition. On books for which this feature is available, you'll see a search box on the book's page.

For example, if I wanted to cite Rock, Scissors, Paper, and I'd been reading the Kindle version (which is not out yet, but for the sake of argument... ) I could just find the bit that I want to quote in the Kindle edition, then type a bit of the text into the search box. So the paragraph beginning with "This applies even when the social convention..." might be sections 206-212 on the Kindle version, by typing it into the Look Inside feature it shows that the print version is on page 30.

Here's the link directly to Look Inside for Rock, Paper, Scissors, just to give you an idea.

That's not going to work with every book, so the next step would be going to the library or bookstore to check cites.
