Hmmn.  Nice catch with the 'duplication',  though why not just duplicate into the same notebook and delete the original??? 

 

seemingly the problem is that the original can't be deleted precisely because it is locked....

Update though, the fact that the duplicated notes' original copy is still "locked" and apparently can never be unlocked is exceedingly frustrating and lame.  :[

I'm not a big font user when writing notes but I have a template set up with a section of fonts and sizes.   I can copy/paste from there.  I'm using an iPad but I trust that also works in Android.

>>really wish there was an easy way to extricate myself

I takes me 20 minutes to export my data on my Mac (weekly backup).  This  leaves me free and clear of Evernote. 

yes but I'm talking about getting out of EN in such a way that I would never need it again, not just exporting my notes so that I could be done for the day or the week or whatever.  Google Keep is kinda meh.  OneNote is by evil Microsoft...There's an app called "Turtl" that is a semi decent, free, multi-platform alternative, but it's not nearly as robust as EN.  And at this time I don't think there's a way for me to export/import all my notes from EN to Turtl, so I guess I should just be patient with Evernote and try to maximize what I can get out of it for the time being. 

 it's sadly hilarious that this is not possible with the EN Android app.  TBH I am so entrenched in EN now, but there are little things like this that make me really wish there was an easy way to extricate myself.  ☹️

I actually solved the problem by duplicating the note into another notebook.  It seems a note can be "locked" in one notebook but not locked in another!

I have been encountering this issue on occasion with notes that I've clipped on Android using the share-picker.  Relatively rarely though.  But still frustrating when it happens.

I found a way to do this on Android, FWIW.

On EN for Android go to your account overview window > settings > notebooks, then there's an option for offline notebooks.  When you click that an option appears that says "make all notebooks offline".  After selecting that option a counter appears that shows how many notebooks one has.

I also think nested stacks would be a great idea.  Sadly, I am just a user and not an Evernote product development person.  However, I recently discovered a web app that works like an extension to Evernote called "filterize" that allows for nested tags/a tag hierarchy, that I think can effectively solve the "problem" of nesting Evernote notebooks.  Filterize is a "freemium" service, at least for now.  http://www.filterize.net

This "Postach.io" platform is amazing! Thank you so much for sharing this!  

Yeah i seem to have this problem (or some variation of this problem) on my phone a lot.  I very often try to "share to Evernote" using the share picker, and it seems like it doesn't work at least half the time.  The little green elephant will pop up and the circular animation ending in a checkmark will happen, but then when I go to my notes, the article is not there.  It is pretty frustrating.
