Online and other electronic books
Parenthetical citations–reference list style: citing specific types of sources
Part II. Source Citation

For online books, follow the guidelines for print books. In addition to the usual elements, include the URL and the date you accessed the material in your reference list (see 15.4.1, 19.1.8). Note that a URL alone is not sufficient; you must provide the full facts of publication, as far as they can be determined, so that a reader can search for the source even if the URL changes. If page numbers are not available, you may identify the location of a cited passage in a parenthetical citation by adding a descriptive locator (such as a preceding subheading) following the word under.
