Searching for Books
If you’re on a more targeted mission that just leisurely browsing—if there’s a particular book, author, or topic you’re interested in—tap in a search term or search terms into the search box at the bottom of the screen. As you type, the search results narrow. Tap any result that appears to launch it, or complete typing your search term or terms (as shown in Figure 4-5) and tap the Search button on the keyboard.
Figure 4-5. Searching for a book
When you first tap into the Search box, you’ll see a list of previous searches you’ve launched. Tap any to launch it again.
Note
The NOOK Store has many, many books you can download and read for free, ranging from the classics from authors like Charles Dickens and Jane Austen, to reference books, and contemporary novels. You won’t find them in any one place, though. So if you’re looking for free books, search “free books for nook” in the store and you’ll find a massive collection.
After you do a search, your results display in a list in a moment or two. Handle it just like subcategory lists: reorder the results, and change the way they’re displayed.
