Upgrade StorageDistribution Method - APA Nonroutine Information Important for Retrieval in Brackets
APA allows extended information in brackets after the title, but not italicized. When I use the APA citation feature in VitalSource Bookshelf, it yields the following citation:
Paul, Harvey. C++ How to Program (Early Objects Version). [VitalSource Bookshelf]. Retrieved from https://bookshelf.vitalsource.com/#/books/9781269616409/
(the title is in italics; the retrieval information is in brackets)
The official APA blog has more details:
https://blog.apastyle.org/apastyle/2010/02/the-generic-reference-using-brackets.html
The article cites p. 186 of the APA manual regarding "nonroutine" information.
However, using zbib.org, I found no field (at least under "Book") that can do this.
To allow Zotero to add information in brackets that is not italicized after the title, I suggest adding a field called "Distribution Method" where people can type in something like "VitalSource Bookshelf" or "Audio podcast" (the field uses "normal case" like some other APA fields).

into the "Extra" field, although I'd question whether that one is a particularly good example -- if you want to add something there it should presumably be more like [e-book] or so.
