Is it possible to find page numbers in Logos "e-books"? I recently purchased an e-book from Logos.com. I know it doesn't have all the regular Logos resources, which is fine. But I can't figure out how to find page numbers in the e-book! I really need them for citations on a paper. Thanks for any help!
- Yes, thanks, I think you're right. I realize that "e-books" on Logos don't have all the features of other Logos resources, but if I knew it didn't have page numbers, I might not have purchased it! Thanks again for the help.
- This book (like most eBook edition resources) doesn't have page numbers. You can verify in the resource information in the book or the library: the page number index would be listed - see screenshot . That said, nearly all style manuals for academic citation should have explicit rules for citing electronic resources, so in fact you don't need them. There's also ways to find page numbers for cited passages, e.g. via Amazon's Look-Into feature.
- Thanks, NBMick, that's what I was thinking. Before I started digging into the proper citation format for resources with no page numbers, I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing them! I did think about looking on the Amazon preview or Google books for page numbers, but that's a lot of work since I'm citing the book several times in the paper. Anyway, thanks everyone for the help! (NOTE: I did get an email from Logos Customer Service saying that some/most Logos e-books do not contain page numbers. Good to know, and hopefully someone fixess this!!)
