Citing Kindle books in BibTeX

Post by Hakarl »

All,

Now that ebooks are all the rage how does one cite those? I would assume under the "Book" label but what about the rest of the fields?

Thanks

P. S. I have seen folks quote Kindle version of books and give specific locations in the book by citing Loc 106 etc.

Recommended reading 2024:

LaTeXguide.org • LaTeX-Cookbook.net • TikZ.org

NEW: TikZ book now 40% off at Amazon.com for a short time.

And: Currently, Packt sells ebooks for $4.99 each if you buy 5 of their over 1000 ebooks. If you choose only a single one, $9.99. How about combining 3 LaTeX books with Python, gnuplot, mathplotlib, Matlab, ChatGPT or other AI books? Epub and PDF. Bundle (3 books, add more for higher discount): https://packt.link/MDH5p

Citing Kindle books in BibTeX

Hi,

I would say that a book is a book and can be cited like a book, no matter if it's printed on paper or plastic or PDF or Kindle. There's a title, a publisher, an author, a year etc. If you need to point a location, and cannot use page numbers, use sectioning (chapter) numbers or their titles or headings.
