Wendy, If interested, Evernote also has a Google+ feed which also has some interesting/useful tips and hints.

Re: Evernote : was Re: [LegacyUG] Research notes
I loved my Palm, still miss it! I have Evernote on my laptop, phone and tablet (when I can pry it out of his hands!). No problems synchronising them when they're all in range of a Wi-Fi signal, which they are at home. The main bonus with having it on the laptop is that I can have it open alongside Legacy, and if there's a heap of typing to be done or a web page or picture I want to grab off the screen, it's easy to do on the larger device. Being able to access my notes when I was away from home was another matter, and a bit hit-and-miss at times - very annoying when you get to the supermarket and can't open your shopping list! It's the main reason I upgraded to a paid account, so I could have my notes available at all times. Worth the small charge, in my opinion. You can limit the notebooks available off-line, should space on your device be an issue. I also follow Evernote on Facebook - they post useful tips there. Rather like following this mailing list, you never know when one of them is going to resonate with you and be useful! Hope this helps. :-) Wendy singhals said the following on 28/01/2014 4:59 a.m.: > OK, I received a tablet for the holidays, it is intended to > replace my PalmPilot which died.

Correction, providing you don't log out you can edit and add notes offline. When connected to the internet then sync takes place. Apologies!

You will only have access to your Evernote when you are signed in. Hence, no good offline.
