Evernote 5 is here

It’s interesting that several of you are protesting that what I am proposing to do can’t be done: assemble a large body of material in Evernote and transform it into a book. I’ll let you know eventually whether I succeed or collapse in mental confusion.

But the procedure I’m using seems simple and effective. As I’ve said here before, I just create a series of special notes—one for each chapter—that serve as outlines. It’s extremely easy to drag and drop the links to other notes into these outlines, and then I can create any hierarchical structure I want within each outline note. When I am ready to write a draft, I double click on the outline note name (in file view), which opens that note in a separate frame, and then I control-shift-click on the various links to open them; I can have as many notes on the screen as my screen size will accommodate. With these various notes open on the screen, I can then write the actual draft in another EN note (if I wish) or a word-processor or a text editor or whatever.

I did something approximately like this for my last book with MyInfo, and I thought it worked very well.
