[EL] Kindle citation format

[Tara Ross]

Oh, I meant whatever book David is reading.....Maybe he can just cite
the print edition (via Google books) instead of figuring out a Kindle
citation format.

            Yes, there is a print edition of my book, Voting Rights -- &
Wrongs, which has footnotes that cite the Kindle edition of sources I
used.

Is there not a print edition of the book?  You can often find the print
edition in Google books.  Even if you don't want to buy it there, I've
gotten enough out of the free preview to get a page number on several
occasions.

		I don't know if it is accepted or if there is an
accepted citation format, but a book I was reading recently cited to a
Kindle book using the Kindle location(s). So long as you publication
date or year, you're referring to the same version and the locations
will be consistent across platforms, so that makes sense. Although it's
not transferable to other formats, which is arguably problematic.

		Hi all:
		
		I am finishing an article on ballot initiatives and want
to cite to a book I have on Kindle.  I cannot find a Bluebook suggestion
for how to do this, does anyone know the rule for it?
		
		Thank you.
