Yes! I’m new to Evernote and loving it! I just got the Kindle Fire for my birthday and have Evernote on it already. Downloading the Evernote app and widget for Android to try out on my smartphone next.

Would be really interested to know if I can use Evernote on my Amazon Kindle (Christmas pressie permitting!) This, I have to say, would be bloomin’ brilliant, especially if you can assign tags and do basic viewing/moving etc.

Do tell us more, Beth!

Hi Beth, do I understand it well, that you open just thi Evernote’s webpage in Kindle? Or do you use something more sophisticated?

I use Evernote for research, but am discovery its personal uses. For example, I take photos of business cards and put them into Evernote. Handy after a conference.

@Keith Chastain: Hi Keith, I just take notes on my Evernote desktop application while on the phone, and on my Blackberry if I am in person meeting with someone, and I tag them “phone notes” and “meeting notes.” I can search for the person’s name or whatever. It’s automatically date and time-stamped, which is super-handy. Does that help?

Thanks a bunch for sharing this… it was truly inspiring! I would be very interested in learning how you use Evernote for phone call and meeting notes? Thanks again!

I love Evernote because I read and research lots and take lots of notes. I used to use paper notebooks, but the problem is the more notes you have, the harder it is to find what you are looking for. I would love to see better integration with the Flock browser though. Currently web clipping, which I make heavy use of doesn’t work with Flock. The iPhone app needs lots of work too, in order to make it really useful. But I hope that this will come in time considering how popular the iPhone is.

Thanks for your great article, I love to hear how others use Evernote, especially a pro! Makes me feel like I’m on the right track with my own usage.

laura,

Evernote integration with Spotlight search is a godsend. The more closely Evernote is integrated into the Apple ecosystem, the better. And so far, no other app of its kind comes close.

Saunders,
when i use my spotlight search (on mac, but i’m sure there’s a windows equivalent) it searches my evernotes. a big time saver.

Imagine if Evernotes automatically tagged items!! Say you are looking up Iphone info on the web. Evernote would scan all your existing tags, and if there is a match with any word in the web clip, it would so tag it! Some mis-posts would happen, but it sure beats having to tag every clipping.

Great post, although I always seme to be eager to discover more about how people organise with Evernote.

I try to keep my tags to a minimum to allow me to view all notes for specific tags. Is that what everyone else does, or do you prefer a scattergun approach for search purposes?

Also, I try to avoid the quick capture method for web pages as this just stores the url of the page and not the actual content on it. Not only does this mean that its not accessible on an offline device but I’m also wary of websites going offline.

Great post! I use Evernote in many of those ways. I have my lazy tendencies, too, but even with my GTD system, Evernote makes it easy to navigate and, well, Remember Everything… I don’t even need a filing cabinet anymore — it’s entirely in one (heavily tagged) notebook (you can check out my implementation here: http://www.40tech.com/2009/08/25/getting-things-done-gtd-in-evernote-with-only-one-notebook/).

The point about constant improvement is also spot on. I have been using Evernote for about a year or so now, and it has improved leaps and bounds (especially in its mobile interface for Windows Mobile) and continues to do so. I found the earlier implementations of Evernote (pre 2.5, I think) and it is like night and day. Not only did Evernote cause me to throw out the insanely over-complex OneNote, but I have literally badgered everyone and my mother to sign up too.

LOL Lorie! I have always said I was organized because I was lazy, too. I don’t want anything to take more steps or be more complicated than needed. And if I can say NO to it…even better! Great tips on Evernote…Sounds like an evolution of VulcanNotes…which I have used since windows 95! I will check it out and maybe upgrade!

I use Evernote for my favorite recipes. I can bookmark Evernote in my Kindle internet app, and have all the ingredients handy when I’m at the store! I don’t have an iPhone

I don’t exactly know how it works, but it works great with a Kindle!

“I always tell people that I am organized because I am lazy” — I’m always telling people the same thing too! There’s some misconception that organization equals being a hard worker. I say organization makes my life easier, which is great because I’m lazy.

I’m from Wisconsin, and I used Evernote at an Apple Store in Las Vegas to remember a solution to a problem that I was having with an external hard drive connected to my MacBook Pro. I didn’t even have it with me, so I quickly jotted down what the Apple Store employee told me. Came home pulled the note up and it fixed my problem!
