One good place to start would be adopting a universal pagination system across all e-books, since, as one Princeton student points out, citing references from a digital document is nearly impossible--using page references from Kindle's numbering system is useless for anyone else. Maybe the problem is that e-readers are trying to simulate the book experience too much.

Actually, I've had a fairly good experience citing page references from . . .you guessed it, PDF's on my DR 1000s, allowing others to find text that I'm referring to in discussion. Although not in a classroom setting, I believe my experiences with PDF's to be quite portable to classrooms.
