Steps to Reproduce:

2. From Your Books on the lefthand column, click "Add Books."
3. Note the search bar displays "what%27s."
4. Select Amazon.com all media for Search where?
5. Notice "No results found for 'what%27s'."

Bug: apostrophes are showing as "%27" when put through the search bar and then going to Add Books.
