Was just now looking at the bard site and noticed something very strange. I can only find search by title or author but only adding a letter If I know the title of a book and I know the author, why can’t I search that way. The book I’m looking for is written by a facebook friend it’s called life rocks on the author’s name is laura pinto. She is a facebook friend and grew up in NJ now living in florida searching for the title select a letter is impossible there are over 8000 results. There has got to be a better way to find books. If I’m going to use the braille Ereader that’s just to much. Am I missing something. Especially if I want to find books for helping my friend and NJ tech division member denise Lesko with her braille. Any suggestions? <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Sent from <a href="https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986">Mail</a> for Windows<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><br><br><o:p></o:p></p><pre>_______________________________________________<o:p></o:p></pre><pre>NJTechDiv mailing list<o:p></o:p></pre><pre><a href="mailto:NJTechDiv@nfbnet.org">NJTechDiv@nfbnet.org</a><o:p></o:p></pre><pre><a href="http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/njtechdiv_nfbnet.org">http://nfbnet.org/mailman/listinfo/njtechdiv_nfbnet.org</a><o:p></o:p></pre><pre>To unsubscribe, change your list options or get your account info for NJTechDiv:<o:p></o:p></pre><pre><a href="http://nfbnet.org/mailman/options/njtechdiv_nfbnet.org/yorsh919%40gmail.com">http://nfbnet.org/mailman/options/njtechdiv_nfbnet.org/yorsh919%40gmail.com</a><o:p></o:p></pre></blockquote></div></body></html>
