If ebook includes all the same elements as the print version e.g. page numbers, edition, publication details, reference it as though it was a print book.
If ebook is available on an edivice (Kindle, smartphones and tablets) the elements might not be the same as the print version. If this is the case you need to use the information you do have (loc, %, chapter/page), for example (Richards, 2012, 67%); (Winters, 2011, ch. 4, p. 12).
