The reference list entry for a whole e-book should include the same elements as a print book: author/date/title [subtitle] and publisher. You don’t need to include the format, platform or device (e.g. Kindle).
Include a DOI if there is one. Do not include a URL or database information for works from academic research databases.
Include a URL for ebooks from other websites if there is no DOI.
