eBooks have one major advantage over their paperbacked cousins: they’re updatable. It’s impossible to update a paper book without printing a new edition or issuing correction sheets. But with eBooks, publishers can easily send out updates to book owners if they need to make a correction to a book. The problems with this, of course, are that some readers might want to keep their original eBooks even if they have been corrected, perhaps to prevent the absolute original book from disappearing. Amazon hit a nerve on this very issue last year when they deleted purchased books off of users devices over copyright issues, including, ironically enough, George Orwell’s 1984. Amazon publically apologized about the way they handled the incident, and promised to never automatically delete books without the customer’s permission.
This week I was able to experience how Amazon now handles updates for Kindle books. Earlier this week I received an email from Amazon stating that one of my books had recently been updated. The email asked me to reply if I wished to received the updated book, and basically read as follows:
Greetings from Amazon.com.
We're writing about your past Kindle purchase of the book. The version you received contained some errors that have been corrected.
An updated version of the book is now available. It’s important to note that when we send you the updated version, you will no longer be able to view any highlights, bookmarks, and notes made in your current version.
If you wish to receive the updated version, please let us know via e-mail at amazonkindle-feedback@amazon.com.
If you prefer, you can reach us by phone directly and toll free from many countries by clicking the Contact Us option in the right-hand column of our Kindle Support pages at:
http://www.amazon.com/kindlesupport
We apologize for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your business with Amazon.
Nice support! I figured I might as well get the updated version of the book, and replied to let them know. They replied to let me know that the book had been updated on my account, and to manually sync if I did not see the changes. Interestingly enough, the email included instructions to manually update the Kindle Device, and didn’t mention the other Kindle Apps, which was funny since I only use Kindle for PC.
At any rate, this shows that Amazon is definitely veering on the side of caution with eBook updates now. I would have been fine with a simple notification in the app stating that an updated version is available; perhaps they could implement this system in the future. Having to receive individual approval emails would seem like an administrative nightmare, but it is nice to know that Amazon is trying their hardest to keep the customer happy and not repeat the 1984 incident again!
For a number of reasons, mainly the wide variety of devices that are now compatible with Kindle content, Kindle is my preferred eBook solution and I always check it for books first before I check other retailers. If you haven’t given it a try, download Kindle for PC and download a free eBook or purchase one you’ve been wanting to read to see how it works for yourself.
Now that you’ve got AutoCAD LT 2011 out of the box, let’s get it installed on your computer. AutoCAD LT is a rather large program, so it may take several minutes to get it installed, but you can easily start it installing and work on other projects while it finished. Here’s how the setup process goes.
Getting AutoCAD Setup
First, you’ll need to know which edition to install. As mentioned in the unboxing article, you’ll find 2 DVDs containing the 32-bit and 64-bit editions, respectively, in the box. The 64 bit version is the best option if you’re running a 64 bit version of Windows, but if you’re running a 32 bit version, make sure to use the 32 bit installer. If you don’t know what edition of Windows you’re running, here’s how you can find out.
Quick Tip: If you’re running Windows in a virtualization program such as Parallels or VMware Fusion on a Mac, or VMware Player or Workstation on Linux, then you’re most likely running a 32 bit edition of Windows in it. Still, you may want to check to be on the safe side. AutoCAD is an intensive application, but AutoDesk does support it on Parallels for Mac.
Once you’ve decided which edition to run, insert the correct DVD into your computer. If the installer doesn’t automatically open, run the Setup.exe file on the disk.
Setup may take a few moments to initialize.
If you’re just wanting to install AutoCAD LT 2011 normally on your computer, click the Install Products link on the left side. You can also create specialized deployments for enterprise and network use, but for standard individual use you’ll just want to select Install.
Now, select the language and products to install. Your AutoCAD LT installer should additionally include Autodesk Design Review 2011, a program that can display files from other Autodesk products so you can review and mark them up. It will not be checked by default, but we recommend that you go ahead and check the box to install it.
If you’d like more info about the installation or Design Review, click the links on the left to open the appropriate help topics. Otherwise, click Next at the bottom to continue.
You may notice a progress bar on the bottom left as the remainder of the installer opens.
Once its loaded, accept the license agreement and click Next.
Enter your name, organization or business, and your AutoCAD LT Serial number and Product key. Alternately you can select I want to try this product for 30 days to install with a full-featured trial.
Note that you must enter a name for your organization, so if you’re installing it for personal or educational use or a self-employed job, you could enter your personal website or even your name in the organization field.
Now review your installation settings, and if everything looks correct, click Install on the bottom.
If you simply accept the defaults and don’t change anything, you may be prompted for confirmation. Click Yes to go ahead and install it.
That’s all! Now you can sit back and wait, and AutoCAD LT will install. The installer is very beautiful, and inspired us to want to go design a bicycle as soon as we got done installing it! If only we had a clue where to start…
You can follow the installation progress from the left side, which shows which components have been installed as they are installed. Do note that Autodesk Design Review is a 32 bit application, so you’ll notice that it installs both 32 bit and 64 bit components on 64 bit systems, but this is fine and will work the exact same.
If you want, you can even check out the installation progress from the window preview on your Windows 7 taskbar.
After a few minutes, the installer will inform you that the installation is finished. It took about 15 minutes in our test to install, though this may vary depending on your computer. Click Finish to exit the installer.
Running AutoCAD LT 2011 the first time
Once the installation is finished, you’ll be able to easily find your new AutoCAD products installed under Autodesk in your start menu.
Here’s the splash screen that displays while AutoCAD LT is loading.
You’ll need to activate AutoCAD LT 2011 within 30 days of installation, so you’ll be prompted to go ahead and activate it when it first loads. Click Activate Now to go ahead and activate it, or click Try to activate it later.
Then, you’ll be asked to submit data about your computer and product usage to help improve the product. You can choose to enter your email address as well if you like.
On the bottom of the dialog, you can select to see what data will be transmitted for the customer improvement program. If you select to preview your CIP Data, you’ll be directed to a page online that will show your system stats compared to those of other users around the world. This can be interesting even if you don’t want to participate in the program.
Finally you’ll see the welcome screen. This gives you several options to preview some of AutoCAD LT’s newest features.
Mouse over the entries to view more information, or click the play button that appears to open a screencast in your browser explaining the feature in detail.
Now you’re ready to start designing in AutoCAD LT 2011. This version features a slick and functional ribbon interface that takes great advantage of the Aero interface in Windows 7 and Vista. We’ll explore more features and how it integrates with the latest Windows features in the next article. Stay turned for more soon!
Ready to get started with AutoCAD LT 2011? AutoCAD is one of the larger programs you’ll install on your computer, just like Photoshop or Microsoft Office. But that doesn’t mean it’s difficult; in fact, we were pleased that the installer was so simple and easy to use, and in fact inspired us to go design as soon as it was installed. Let’s look at a quick unboxing, and then we’ll dive into the setup process.
AutoCAD LT 2011 Unboxing
AutoCAD LT 2011 is still sold by default as a packaged product, which is good for most users as it includes 2 DVDs in the package. This can take a long time to download, depending on your internet connection, so even if you prefer to purchase software electronically you might be better to go for the disk with this. You can purchase it as a boxed copy from Amazon.com or from select software retailers in your area. Or, you can get it directly from AutoDesk via download or DVD.
Here’s our copy fresh out of the FedEx envelope. Shiny!
Here’s a nicer, stock shot of the box cover:
On the back, you’ll see your Serial Number and Product key, as well as some copyright info about AutoCAD. Note that AutoCAD LT 2011 is fully Compatible with Windows 7, and we can confirm that it runs great on it.
Once you open the DVD case, you’ll see 2 DVDs as well as some support literature. The first disk on the top is the 32 bit installer, and the second is the 64 bit installer. Do note that you should remove the top, 32 bit disk before removing the lower 64 bit one.
Here’s everything out of the case. Our copy included a support brochure in 6 languages listing websites and phone numbers for technical support, as well as extended support options.
64 bit editions of Windows are quickly becoming the standard on new computers as more computers are sold with 3Gb or more of ram. Almost all computers sold nowadays, including netbooks with Intel Atom N45x processors and newer, are 64 bit capable, and most programs work just as good on the 64 bit version of Windows as they do on the 32 bit editions. Many new programs, including Photoshop CS5, Office 2010, AutoCAD 2011, and more are available in 64 bit editions to take full advantage of your hardware. If you’re wondering if your computer is running the 64 bit version of Windows to see which programs to install, here’s how you can tell what your computer is running.
See What Edition of Windows 7 or Vista You’re running
64 bit versions of Windows 7 and Vista are fairly popular, so if you have a newer computer running either of these you have a fair chance of your computer running the 64 bit version. If your computer came with 3Gb ram or more, it most likely came with the 64 bit edition preinstalled; otherwise, you likely have the 32 bit edition.
To find out for sure, open the Start Menu, right-click on Computer, and select Properties.
Fun Fact: Windows Server 2008 R2 is only available in 64 bit, so if your system is running it you’ll know for sure you’re running a 64 bit edition without checking.
This dialog will show what version of Windows you’re running near the top; this computer is running Windows 7 Home Premium as you can see in the green circle. Then, under System on down, you’ll see what processor your computer is running, as well as how much Ram you have. Underneath that you’ll see if you’re using a 32 bit version of Windows beside System type. This computer includes 1Gb of ram and is running a 32 bit edition of Windows as you can see in the red circle.
And here’s what it looks like on a computer running a 64 bit edition:
See if Your Computer Could run a 64 bit Edition
If your computer is running a 32 bit edition of Windows 7 or Vista, you can quickly see if your computer is capable of running a 64 bit edition. To do this, click your Experience Score rating; if you haven’t updated the score in a while, the link may say that the score needs to be refreshed, but it will still work fine for this check.
Click View and print detailed performance and system information to get more info.
Now, under System, you’ll see if your computer 64 bit capable or not. Here we see that this netbook is 64 bit capable!
See if Your Running a 64 bit Version of XP
The 64 bit version of Windows XP was seldom used, as it had to be purchased as a separate version and was not included by default. If you’re still running XP, most likely you’re running the 32 bit version, but you can check to be sure if you’d like.
Fun Fact: XP Mode on Windows 7 uses a 32 bit version of XP even if you’re using it on a 64 bit edition of Windows 7. So if you’re wanting to install a program in XP Mode, you’ll need to use the 32 bit version. If you’re using a program that does have a 64 bit version, you’d likely be better off to run it directly in Windows 7 anyhow.
To check, right-click on My Computer in the start menu and select Properties. This window will show you your system properties, including the version of Windows. If you’re running the 64 bit version of XP, it will say Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition.
Conclusion
As more programs are designed to take advantage of 64 bit computers, it’ll be increasingly needful to know what edition of Windows you’re using. I’ve been using the 64 bit edition of Windows 7 since the first beta in January 2009, and haven’t had problems with any standard programs in it. Plus, you can always run older, 32 bit programs in XP Mode if you have any that won’t work in the 64 bit edition of Windows 7.
Microsoft has recently been been focusing on cloud computing more than ever. Its new We’re all in cloud mantra has the company focusing on cloud computing more than ever. Recently over at How-to Geek I wrote about Getting Started with OneNote 2010 along with an earlier article about Syncing OneNote 2010 to the Office Web Apps. OneNote 2010 is a very nice application, and I believe the ribbon interface was a great addition to it. Additionally, the OneNote Web App is one of the nicest and most full-featured of the Office Web Apps.
However, all along I’d been missing out on one thing. I felt that Microsoft had left the Web Apps out as a second thought, and not integrated them into Office 2010 as much as they could have. On OneNote, you had to select notebooks individually to sync, rather than them being synced by default.
It turns out, however, that my misconception came from having used OneNote 2007 previously. Apparently OneNote 2010 will pick up your 2007 settings if you upgrade, and so will work more like a traditional desktop application. I recently had to reinstall Windows, Office, and everything else after my 3 month old hard drive died, and I was surprised to see how integrated OneNote is with the web app. Here’s what the first run experience is like if you’ve never had another copy of OneNote installed on the computer:
OneNote 2010 First Run Experience
When you first run OneNote 2010 on a new computer or install of Windows, it will ask you if you want the notebook to be synced to the web or simply stored on your computer. The Synced to the Web option is the first and recommended option, which shows how much the focus is on the OneNote web synchronization.
You’ll need to sign in to Office Live with your Windows Live ID, so click Sign In to continue.
Enter your Windows Live ID, and be sure to check Sign me in automatically so you won’t have to enter this info every time.
Now OneNote will connect to the server and sync your first notebook before you enter anything in it.
Everything you enter in the default notebook will be synced with Office Live so you can access it from anywhere. And, if you choose to share a notebook with friends or coworkers, you can edit in real-time on your desktop in OneNote 2010 even if they’re editing in the OneNote Web App. This makes OneNote work almost like the now-defunct Google Wave or the equally dead Etherpad, except that it’s live, current technology that’s fully supported and works great.
The great thing is, the online synchronization is enabled and recommended to new users from the start, which means many more people should start taking advantage of it.
Conclusion
It’s exciting to see Microsoft embrace the cloud and bring more web services to their traditional products. They, as well as all tech companies, need to rapidly innovate to stay relevant today, so hopefully both their cloud and mobile efforts this year will pay out over time.
And, again, this is one area that makes OneNote more like Evernote, though I increasingly think of them in two totally separate categories. OneNote excels at rich editing in an almost free form wiki, while Evernote excels at keeping your sniplets of info, from blog drafts to software info to contacts, synced and accessible from all your devices. I think you might just find space for both of them in your life and workflow!
If you don’t have Office 2010 yet, check out the current Office deals on Amazon or the amazing student discount for Office. OneNote is included in every retail Office 2010 suite, so no matter which version of Office you get you’ll be sure to get to try out OneNote.
Are you tired of the default system icons and clock taking up precious space on your taskbar? Here’s how you can tweak the system tray to your liking and remove any or all of the default icons.
Windows 7 keeps the system tray much cleaner than previous versions of Windows, as it automatically hides new icons in the tray. However, it does usually have several default icons, including Action Center, power, network, sound, and the clock. While each of these can be useful, sometimes extra space in the taskbar can be more useful, especially if you’re using a small screen on a laptop or netbook.
One way to quickly reclaim some space is to drag the default icons such as network and power to the hidden icons section. Simply click and drag the icons to the end of the tray, and the hidden icon pane will open for you to place the icons where you want. We find that we seldom need to use these icons, as we’re more likely to use hotkeys on our laptop to turn volume up or down, or turn off WiFi. Now your icons are a click away, and your tray is cleaner.
However, that still left the clock in the tray. If you really want your tray to be as clean as possible, you can remove that, too. To remove the clock, right-click on it and select Customize notification icons.
This dialog will let you choose which icons to hide, though we find it easier to just manage the icons by dragging and dropping them to or from the hidden icons pane as above. There’s no option for the default system icons and the clock here, though, so click the Turn system icons on or off link near the bottom of the dialog.
Now you can choose to turn on or off the clock and any of the default system icons. Most of the icons are handy to keep around, so we’ve simply moved them to the hidden icons section in the tray, but this is the only place you can turn off the clock.
Once you’ve done this, your system tray will be fully empty, showing on the Show Desktop button and the up arrow to see the hidden icons.
You can still access the hidden icons as before, so you can still access the volume and network info easily.
Conclusion
Although it can be handy to quickly see the current date and time in the system tray, sometimes it can be best to have an uncluttered taskbar, especially on small screens. Windows 7 lets you pick exactly what you want to show in the system tray so the taskbar can work just like you want it to. Whether you prefer to use the clock desktop gadget or your trusty wrist watch, or still prefer to see the time in the system tray, you can tweak Windows to work like you want.
No matter how nice your new PC is, what’s really important is the software you can use on it. From communications to advanced design to videos and photography, computers today are some of the most versatile tools available. We always love seeing innovative, new applications for PCs, but sometimes it can be even more exciting to see how mainstays of the software industry keep their products relevant. Microsoft reinvigorated Office with the 2007 edition and has continued the tradition with the latest 2010. Other major companies are doing the same, and we’re excited to see how new versions of traditional programs make them fresh and exciting all over again.
Starting this week, we’ll be running a series about AutoCAD LT 2011, AutoCAD Freestyle, special discounts and free Autodesk software for students, and more. Autodesk has done a great job at integrating the Aero and ribbon interface into AutoCAD 2011, and we’ll be exploring how it works great with Windows 7’s new features. Even if you prefer the traditional file menu interface, you’ll still feel at home with AutoCAD 2011 as it still includes the traditional interface as an option. It also takes full advantage of the latest computers with both 32 and 64 bit editions. We’ll let you see exactly how the latest version works, how to set it up, and unique features it offers. And we’ll take a look at Autodesk’s Education Community that offers free software and training for students!
Then, AutoCAD Freestyle is a great tool to help home users get started doing CAD design without “going pro” and spending hundreds of dollars on advanced tools without knowing how to use them. Freestyle can help you create amazing 2D drawings and designs with little or no training. Plus, it can view and create full DWG files that you can share with other AutoCAD users. Similar to Photoshop Elements, Freestyle lets you get started with AutoCAD quickly, easily, and more economically.
Whether you’re heading to college this fall to study design, have used CAD programs for years, or are simply curious about using CAD software, you’ll be sure to find some interesting information. Stay tuned, and please let us know anything you’d like to find out about the latest AutoCAD software and we’ll do our best to fill you in with the articles.
Would you like a new, elegant theme for your Tumblr blog? One of my favorite WordPress theme sites, Elegant Themes, has just started porting their new Tumblr-style WordPress themes to Tumblr. Let’s look at their first Tumblr theme, DailyNotes, and how to set it up on your Tumblr blog.
In the past several weeks, I’ve written a number of articles at How-to Geek on Getting Started with Tumblr. I’ve really enjoyed using Tumblr, and think it’s one of the easiest ways to make a blog right now. It’s much simpler than WordPress, and there are tons of beautiful Tumblr themes available. The only problem is, most of the best themes are used on thousands of Tumblr. There’s a nice selection of Premium themes on Tumblr, but what if you want something more exquisite? Elegant Themes is a great option to make your WordPress blog stand out, and now you can use their themes to make your Tumblr blog stand out, too!
DailyNotes on Tumblr
Elegant Themes currently only offers one Tumblr theme which has just been released, but they promise to offer more in the future. The first theme, DailyNotes, is a beautiful way to make your Tumblr blog more useful and readable. It shows thumbnails of your recent posts on the front page. Hover over them, and a small icon will appear showing the type of post.
Click one of the thumbnails to see the full post slide in with a nice, smooth animation. You’ll be able to see info about the post, and can click the Full Post button to see comments, notes, and more. Or, click the arrows on both sides of the post to see previous or later posts.
We’re planning on launching a new Tumblr-powered blog soon with the DailyNotes theme, but for now you can check out the DailyNotes Live Demo site to see it in action.
Add an Elegant Theme to Your Tumblr
If you’d like to use DailyNotes on your Tumblr blog, you’ll need to signup for an Elegant Themes subscription. For $39/year, you’ll have access to all of their WordPress and Tumblr blog themes which you can use on as many of your own sites as you want. If you hit any problems with their themes, we’ve found their support forums very helpful, even when we were trying to add functionality or tweaks to their themes. And, if you only want to download the theme you want and then cancel your subscription, you can do that as well. Head to the link below to start signing up!
Once you’ve signed up, login to your account from the Members link with your username and password.
Edit: The Member’s download page recently changed, so if you recently tried to download the theme and couldn’t find it, this should work again:
All the themes are listed in alphebetical order, so scroll down to DailyNotesTumblr. Click the bullet, and then click the green Download File button. Save the zip file where you want; it should download fairly quick, as it’s a less than 40Kb download.
Once it’s downloaded, unzip the file and open the new folder. Select index.html, and open it with your favorite web editor or text editor such as Notepad.
Select all of the text, and copy it to your clipboard.
Now login to your Tumblr dashboard, and select Customize from the right hand side.
Select the Theme tab, and then select Use Custom HTML.
Now, select all of the text in this box, delete it, and paste in the text you copied from the index.html file previously. Select Update preview to see the new theme in action with the example content.
Add Your Own Logo
The Theme includes a PSD of the logo, so you can edit it with your Tumblr blog’s name. Open it in Photoshop or another program that can edit PSD files such as Expression Design or Gimp, and edit it as you like. Alternately, of course, you could make your own unique logo if you want. The original is 302x57 px, so you might want to keep it within the same dimensions.
Once you’re done, save the file as a PNG picture.
Back in the Tumblr dashboard, select the Appearance tab and click Upload to add your own logo. Select the PNG file you created previously.
Once you’re done, click Save+Close to apply your new theme and logo. Enjoy!
Use DailyNotes on WordPress, too!
If you’re still blogging on WordPress, you can use the beautiful DailyNotes, as well as dozens of other themes from Elegant Themes directly on your WordPress blog. They offer a couple micro-blog, Tumblr style themes that you can use on WordPress, in addition to their many blog-style and more complex CMS-style themes. Once you subscribe, you can use any or all of the themes on your sites, so if you maintain multiple sites you could use different Elegant themes on all of them. Or, hey, you could use DailyNotes on your Tumblr, and then one of their other themes on your Wordpress site. All for the same subscription price of $39/year.
Elegant Theme’s signature ePanel makes it easy to tweak their WordPress themes
Conclusion
Tumblr is a great blogging platform, and when you combine it with beautiful themes from designers like Elegant Themes, you’ll have a stylish and easy to maintain blog. We’re big fans of Elegant Themes, and hope you enjoy their themes as much as we do. Feel free to share your Tumblr or WordPress site with us in the comments below; we’d love to see how others are using these themes. And stay tuned for our upcoming, unique Tumblr blog that we’ll be launching with the DailyNotes theme!
Like it or not, humans are forgetful. Admit it … even the best of us have forgotten lots of important information over the years. Ask me; I managed to forget to make hotel reservations three days in a row this week, even though people reminded me each day! I’ve often envied cameras and phones; they run out of storage space, and we simply stick in a new, larger SD card. Evernote claims it can help you Remember Everything, but somehow it seems like the most obvious solutions don’t seem that obvious at first. It seems like a good idea; just jot down all your thoughts, and then find them again anytime, anywhere. But for me, Evernote didn’t click until recently. If you’ve been feeling in the dark about Evernote, perhaps using it haphazardly but not regularly, you might need something to help it make more sense. Or, even if you’ve been using it for a while, you might be wondering how you can get more usefulness out of it.
Enter Evernote Essentials. This hot-off-the-press eBook (assuming, as I do, that in 2010 Tumblr and PDFs count as a press) helps you quickly discover all of Evernote’s features and start using them to make you more productive and forget less. Evernote may not be the most confusing application ever; in fact, it may be one of the simplest. But author Brett Kelly, a new member of the Evernote team, ties it all together and helps you see how Evernote brings your thoughts from your browser, desktop, and mobile device all together. This is not a weighty, 500 page book that takes you through every nook and cranny of a program, but instead is a light-reading book that can help you get the most out of Evernote. Let’s look at what Evernote Essentials contains, and why you just might want to read it.
Screenshots, captions, witty comments … Evernote Essentials has it all!
Evernote Essentials starts with a quick overview of the Evernote service in general, and helps new users get up to speed on some terminology. Then it dives into a look at the features and settings in all of Evernote’s major platforms: the desktop, web, and mobile versions, Evernote via email, and more. Next you’ll learn how to effectively organize and find anything you store in Evernote. Tagging is often difficult for new users to understand, and can be messy and confusing for advanced users who’ve used Evernote a long time, so you may want to pay extra attention to the section on tagging to help you stay organized.
Examples of great Evernote usage ideas ranging from cooking to programming follow. Bloggers, you’re not neglected; there’s a whole section on how Evernote can help you keep up with your ideas and post drafts. Secret Service agent looking for a way to remember everything? You’re covered too.
The sections I found most useful were the ones about using Evernote via email and about the advanced search options in Evernote. Did you know you could search for all notes containing images with text that Evernote recognized? Or that you could find all notes created in the past week by just entering created:week-1 in Evernote’s search box? Guess what; you can! I’ve used Evernote for over a year, but this one section taught me a lot that I’d overlooked in Evernote. Anything that can make you more productive and organized is valuable, and this one book helped me get a lot more out of the free Evernote service. The best thing is, you’ll likely have fun reading the book too, and be more excited about getting your notes organized in Evernote.
Getting Evernote Essentials
Evernote Essentials is available as a DRM-free PDF for $25, and the author promises to regularly update the book with new information and make the latest version available free of charge to customers. In fact, you won’t even have to worry about having the latest copy; when the book is updated, you’ll be automatically emailed with the newest version. The PDF is fully searchable, so you can easily find anything you’re looking for in the book anytime. In fact, since all Evernote users can store PDFs in Evernote, I’d suggest you save the book in Evernote for a quick reference guide! To top it off, the author promises a full refund within 30 days if you don’t feel the book met your expectations. Not bad, eh? Check it out at the link below:
Let us know how this book helped you use Evernote more effectively to remember and find your info easier than ever.
P.S.: Hey Mr. Brett, would you mind sharing a couple of your Cumin Waffle recipes with us? A public Evernote notebook would do! After all, reading your book made me hungry :)
