Kindle Free Pick of the Week - The Evernote Bible

Evernote has been one of my favorite apps for a while.  It's a powerful organization app for your smartphone or tablet.

Before Evernote you had only one option for organizing all of the information in your life: an expensive, heavy, hope-you-can-find-it, hope-you-didn’t-lose-it, make-sure-you-organize-those-notes filing system! Evernote is your digital-organizing, note-taking, in-your-pocket, syncing, ever-evolving strategy for getting rid of all of that paper and transforming it into a usable system.

The Evernote Bible is the book that tells you exactly how to use this amazing free service to organize your entire life. It is designed for both beginners and advanced Evernote users to give them strategies, tips, uses, and Evernote essentials to maximize your time and organize your digital life. It deals with the two major issues facing Evernote users: what is Evernote, and how do I use it effectively?
