Suggestion: Until you get used to their search and download
system, you might want to try this:
Use the "Advanced
Search" link in the dark blue box on the left side of the screen.
Enter a title or an
author or a subject (e.g., Mystery.)
Select the format
(e.g., Kindle).
Finally check the box
"Only show titles with copies available." (Once you are
more familiar with the system, you can leave the box unchecked. You
can then add yourself to wait lists to reserve books.)
