A lot of us aren't using ProveIt because of the slowness in loading.
You click edit, then you start editing, only for ProveIt to start
loading, bouncing the edit box around and generally making things
slow. Personally, I just use the built in 'Cite' buttons and I also
use Reftag, a tool that lets you paste in a Google Books URL and which
then spits out a copy-pasteable citation - see
