eBooks in Chicago style

lowellsimpson
I often use eBooks in research, versus having to drive to the library or bookstore to physically get a copy, and I have to type these citations manually since Zotero doesn't do it. Does anyone have any tips, tricks or workarounds for citing an eBook in Chicago style using Zotero?

    If you put the e-book description, like "Kindle edition" or "PDF e-book" into the url field in Zotero, you'll get correct Chicago citations according to 14.166 in the manual.
    It's not the greatest workaround, but it's also not that unreasonable as a location for that info.

    also I think, if you go to worldcat.org, and find ebook version and export citation for endnote. It also works with Zotero.

    The best approach currently would be to add ‘Medium: Kindle edition’ to the Extra field.
