Going paperless is an idea I have struggled with for some time. I’ve tried various applications and methodologies in the past only to be overwhelmed by the effort or dismayed by the lack of cross-platform support. Beyond the paperless ideal, data management, efficient note taking and good writing habits were also objectives for which I could not find workable solutions. My digital documents were scattered across different computers much in the same way my physical paper was carelessly stuffed in bankers boxes. I have been a casual Evernote user for some time and a Premium subscriber for about a year. But, it was not until the recent release of the Android application for my NOOK Color that I have decided to fully use Evernote as my organizational tool.

I see no reason to believe that the reported demise of the personal blog is an accurate portrayal of the current state of blog writing. There are still many blog authors writing passionately about subjects that interests them for a community that is just as passionate. There will always be an audience, whether comprised of many readers or just one.
