If the work is a PDF file with fixed pages, cite the page numbers. Most electronic readers include a numbering system that tells users their location in the work. Do not cite this numbering, because it may not appear consistently to other users. If the work is divided into stable numbered sections like chapters, the numbers of those sections may be cited, with a label identifying the nature of the number. If the work lacks any kind of stable section numbering, the work has to be cited as a whole.
