APA Update for electronic books

I might not understand how to do it, but I couldn't find information. Please make provision for electronic books.

Edition creates ( ) and not [ ] required for electronic books.

And make provision for them to have chapters too. Here's some help:

  • Zotero will already print the URL for books (in APA and other styles).
    It won't do the [Google Books version] thing - you can hack that if need be (include it in the title field in square brackets and put it between <i> </i> brackets to get rid of the italics), but right now I'd just ignore it.

    We may or may not add a provision for that in Zotero eventually, but it'll take a good deal of time. Style manuals kind of make up and change these rules around so much - and actual publisher show very little inclination to use them - that I don't think it's worth spending much time on until things have settled.
