I am struggling to find skill books to inject... I cannot find any for sale. I have jumped to 6 or 7 different systems but none are listed in the market pane.
How are markets linked together? Will I find different items at different stations in the same solar system? Do I have to travel very far to find different items?
Better yet, is there a "game-wide" market/auction house that I can access from one location, so I don't have to jump around in search of an item? |

There is no game-wide auction house. There's the contract system, but that's not the main way most items are bought and sold.
Items are sold at stations, they don't teleport around, so when you buy something from a station, you have to go to that station to pick it up.
You probably have your market window set for 'station' or 'solar system', which is why you can't find anything. Click the little gear next to the Search button on the market window and set your range to Region. Then you'll be able to see everything for sale at every station in that region. You still have to go to the station to get the item, but you can buy remotely (I think that doesn't need a skill) and search from one spot.
Be careful buying from lowsec stations if you're not comfortable in lowsec yet, you have to go to the station to pick the item up. |

To expand on that...
Each of the four empires has a trade hub (player-run, not chosen by CCP). You'll find just about anything at a trade hub. The Caldari hub is also the main trade hub, Jita 4-4 the Caldari Navy station there. Other stations will have more or less depending who's selling and who's buying at them. Most regions have mini trade hubs.
Most skill books are sold at the School stations (where you ran the career agent missions), there are other stations that will sell skill books as well. If the order has > 90 days expiry, it's an NPC order. |

Well...markets are regional...so, any station / spot in the region will show the same regional market.

Note that most skill books are sold by schools / academies. Look for sell orders with durations > 90 days (NPC) for the best prices. |

Make sure that you have set the market settings correctly: http://i.imgur.com/PBes5R6.jpg
For skill books you will be able to see stations with "School" in the name and those are always the cheapest option being NPC sell orders but usually off the beaten path. |

Look for sell orders with durations > 90 days (NPC) for the best prices. Some books are racial, i.e. in Amarr sovereign space you'll find books on all sizes of lasers and armor tanking. Generally all frigate / destroyer related books are available can be purchased from any school. These also happen to be the starting rookie corps: Amarr: Hedion University, Imperial Academy, Royal Amarr Institute Caldari: School of Applied Knowledge, Science And Trade Institute, State War Academy Gallente: Center for Advanced Studies, Federal Navy Academy, University of Caille Minmatar: Pator Tech School, Republic Military School, Republic University Tip: Use the agent finder to find the nearest agent of any of these corps, of any level.
Or even easier:
Hit F12 and search for the nearest career agents.
Go there and voila, skillbook heaven.
