Please consider and implement selective notebook syncing to a device, this is a valuable feature.
Previously as a work-around, I simply created a second free account and shared only what I wanted from my paid account to that one. Your recent notebook/page limit for free accounts has made this experience quite annoying, as you keep popping up ads to buy Evernote (which I own, however cannot use to meet my needs do to your lack of skill in coding and priority setting).
If not remedied soon, I'll have to find a new product for my notes.
