Identifying page numbers

The Page Counter provides page numbers true to the digital edition of the ebook.

PDF ebooks, like the one pictured above, will include fixed page numbers matching the print edition.


Citing ebooks without page numbers

✋ Before reading this section please double check if page numbers are provided for in-text citations using the steps listed in the section above. Go back.

Page numbers may not be available for every title.

If there are no page numbers, please consult your style guidelines or instructor. Most style guidelines suggest using the narrowest location reference to cite when page numbers are unavailable, such as the chapter title, section title, or paragraph number.
