I believe the “he” who wrote the Chronicle article is Amy Cavender.

The Chronicle articles are not as informative about how to do the migration as was the Andrew Connell article that Cavender links to in the second part of her article.  Connell gets into the practical details of migrating from Evernote to OneNote and explains factors that I was not aware of.

Many thanks, Dr Andus and Paul Korm.

This NY Times article today ( 20160829 ) claims “The number of customers who pay for [Evernote] file storage and sharing product is on track to grow as much as 40 percent this year, and the company is hiring again.”

This could be fun with numbers—is the 40% net of losses / turnover in the customer base, for example—and could be a bit counter-intuitive since the statistic might suggest that Evernote customers are price inelastic.

Hmm. I can think of several reasons:

- “...net of losses”, as you say

- “...is on track to grow”, as opposed to a perhaps more expected wording such as “...has grown by…” implies assumptions that may or may not be fulfilled, because of, perhaps…

- ...seasonal loading of recruitment numbers in the past or expected in the future…

...because, as you say, the implied price inelasticity is curious.

This projection likely reflects some very aggressive promotions made toward the end of last year, after the company was declared dead by the VCs and replaced their founding CEO with Chris O’Neil, whose previous claim to fame was managing Google Glass, not exactly a glowing resumé
. I had found Evernote reasonably good as a cross-platform web clipper, but little else. Last November, they had a special offer for 18 months of Premium for $50 and I decided to give it a try.  My conclusion is that it is not worth $50, let alone $70/year, so I will cancel before my renewal comes up.  I doubt that I will be alone in that.
