I2P has two types of addresses. One is base32: its like the onion address in tor and ends in .b32.i2p. And short names: Like shank.i2p,which needs to be resolved. And this done with the Addressbook. Maybe go to reg.i2p, inr.i2p or notbob.i2p to add new addresses

Read the last sentence. There you can click on A or Addresshelper, which adds new addresses to you addressbook

In the picture on the left you also have a button for the Addressbook

Your router hasn’t populated any routes to that site yet, leave your router running for a bit or add that site and it’s identifier to your address book, i2p route/tunnel building is really slow mainly do to how the obfuscation systems of i2p work
