A book well done with solid information
A well written book covering topics for both beginners and those with more advanced skills. I have been using OneNote since it was first launched and there are many things I picked up in this book.Another reviewer mentioned the videos. While I have the paperback book, I don't think the Kindle edition would be different. In the introduction on page 3 is the link to register the book and gain access to the videos.The videos are the author doing screen casts - these are not high quality videos like Lynda.com. This is not a knock, this is just a different style but they work well. Its a nice compliment to the book and I am glad they are available as a companion to the written text.The one chapter missing from the book are tips and tricks for organization. I would like to hear about some suggestions for how to best organize my data.If you are on Windows and use Outlook, Word and such, then this book is a good investment.

The easy road to good results
Let's focus on the results. In the three weeks since I received the book, I came from being a newbie to a strong user of OneNote 2010. Not trivial, if you consider that: a) I do not have much free time to put into the effort and b) I had been struggling for over a year to find practical uses for OneNote. I had the feeling that OneNote held a valuable prize inside, but I didn't have the key to open it.Now let's go to the activities. The book starts at the very beginning, and slowly builds block by block from there. Again ... sounds trivial, but it isn't. During the first chapters I felt it was a bit too slow, but I had made my mind to read the full text in its proper order, do all the exercises and review all the videos. The book holds no surprises, no emotions. The voice in the videos is clear and precise, if a little boring too.But then, I found that I had been learning new things. By the...

Unexpected Help
I am not usually big on getting books about office products. I tend to figure out what I need on my own by using help and visiting web sites. OneNote is a little different. Unlike Word or Excel, there is very little in the area of example of using the application. If you have ever used a word processor or spreadsheet, you pretty much understand how to use Word and Excel. OneNote is a different breed. It turns out, reading a book on its use brings into focus not only ways to use the program, but why you would use.I don't want this to be a review of the software, but of the book. So I'll leave it to the user of the application to determine its value. As for the book, I found it to be excellent. I've been using OneNote for a couple of months and did not think I would get much out of the book. I was wrong. I learned many small things that make the software more useful. Since the purpose of the software is to be used for all of your note taking, small tips which...
