A notebook, is, as you might guess, a place where you store your notes.

As stated earlier, a note is any single entity stored in Evernote, regardless of format. To get started, you first need to understand a few basic concepts. Once entered, this note is available to you on any device on which you have installed Evernote and logged into to your account, or from anywhere using the web interface. These notes can be put into Evernote by typing in a note, clipping a web page from the extensions available for the major browsers, by emailing it to your Evernote account, by scanning a document into your sync folder, or by taking a picture with the built in smartphone functionality. A note can be anything from plain text typed directly into Evernote, to an email, a clipped web page, a photograph, a voice memo and most recently, a handwritten note. The basic unit of information in Evernote is a note. And best of all, it’s free! For heavy users, there is a premium version for a nominal fee. Begun in 2008 as a web service, Evernote has grown across virtually all platforms, raised over $200 million in funding and is used by over 10 million users worldwide. Used to its full potential, Evernote is a database capable of helping people go paperless, collect and organize every facet of their life, and be a constant companion and source of relevant information. In its simplest usage, Evernote is a cross-platform repository for notes and information. Every once in a while, a technology comes along that can change the way you work in significant ways.
