Q. How do I cite a Kindle book with no page numbers?
Answer
Thank you for your question about how to cite Kindle e-books. (See the APA Help guide for other examples.)
The correct citation for a References page for a Kindle ebook is:
Author's last name, Author's Initial. (year). Title of book. [Kindle version]. Retrieved from Amazon.com
In-text citation (for a direct quote):
If there are no page numbers, use paragraph numbers:
- Count the paragraphs and use the (Smith, 2016, para. 20) method of citation.
- Or, you can use chapter title and paragraph number such as (Smith, 2016, "Chapter 5," para. 17).
