I was looking forward to ordering the new and third edition but was disappointed to find that the kindle version does not include the page references
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
When i first purchased the kindle page references were not included
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Later the kindle did provide the page numbers but not with all books
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
For those that do provide the page numbers you will find a separate isbn page number with the books description
