 Thanks! built in book search/download is a great new feature, makes
 getting ebook content much simpler.

 Feedback: When first used, I was a little confused how to get rid of the
 book search results after I had downloaded my first book (I wanted to read
 but 50% of the screen was still consumed by search results). I was then
 caught out by trying to download several more books in the same activity
 instance (as the search results are still visible/accessible) with the
 expectation that each would create a Journal entry - after searching and
 downloading several texts I realised each is not added to the Journal,
 just replaces current instance content.

 Suggestion would be that the search/download results could auto hide after
 a book is successfully downloaded, or, if you expect users to search and
 browse through a few results before sticking with one, allow the results
 to be hidden via some method (see below).

 When trying to get the results list to 'go away', I tried:

 1). clearing the book search text input field (nice little (x) for
 clearing search as in other Sugar UI search areas would be great)

 2). then I tried trying to drag the split view out of the way, but seems
 to be a fixed layout

 3). then I tried looking for a toolbar button that might hide/reveal the
 search results list

 4). finally I tried stopping, and then resuming the book Journal entry
 (which is the current correct solution)
