Someone elses (perceived or otherwise) impoliteness does not give one licence to be impolite oneself

No. It's just called "manners".

But I am sure the colleges that were trying ebooks worked out some format for citing ebooks. However, if you have a need to cite to material, you better check out what formats are acceptable first.

I suggest looking at http://lrc.pjc.edu/pdf/APAebook.pdf for the APA style.

For the MLA style check out http://www.umuc.edu/library/guides/mla.shtml#e-books .

look sweetie... one can have manners and ask nicely for help or one can be a little bitch and throw a temper tantrum about what they feel they deserve. I've been around too long, seen too much crap that "deserving little bitches" cause to have any patience at all for them. they will every single day of the week, every minute of every day get the sharp side of my tongue (at the very least). people who are kind and polite will get efforts of herculean proportions from me.

if you don't like it, fine. don't let the screen door hit you in the ass either

Thanks. Although I have a feeling, in 6th grade, it is more that not everyone is doing it.

Proof-Reading your books? Pardon my ignorance: You're an author then?

I think Harry is referring to the books he create from PD Gutenberg books. They can need a lot of proofreading.

Formerly (I used to write physics textbooks), but those aren't the books I'm talking about. I'm referring to the eBooks which I create from public domain sources, and upload to MR. They are often in a poor state, and require proof-reading and correction, hence my need to annotation, or, at the very least, text highlighting.

Writing fiction really isn't my "thing". Scientific reports, or textbooks, yes, but not fiction.
