PinkE, I am sure you are correct about the implementation, but in my useage, it feels like subnotebooks. Maybe bad nomenclature on my part. My notebooks frequently have one level beneath them and I wanted to keep that structure when I went to OneNote, using sections.

So, I just completed the wrestling match of moving over to OneNote. I used: http://www.onenotegem.com/a/addins/onenote-batch.html batch processor I can't say I did it the most efficient way but it is done and every page looks perfect. The software was $28 and well worth it. I got great support - maybe 6 emails answered from morning to late evening within 15 minutes. I documented the method that I used for your enjoyment. Goal: To take Evernote, organized in notebooks, sub-notebooks, and pages into OneNote as Notebooks, Sections, and pages. The main problem is that the Evernote .enex export flattens the notebook structure and loses the sub-notebooks.File Explorer:Create a directory for each top-level notebook in Evernote. This is a temporary holder for the .enex files.Evernote:Select each subnotebook (or main notebook if there are no subs), right-click on it, and select 'export'. Put it in the .enex file hierarchy you just created. This should create a .enex file for each sub-notebook. OneNote:Create a new notebook for each top-level notebook in EvernoteBatch:Be sure OneNote is open.The left column should show all your available notebooks in OneNote.Select 'Import' and then the Evernote icon.Under Options, select 'import all notes' and 'save as OneNote section'.Use the folder icon to navigate to the notebook folder you want to import full of .enex files.You can <ctl> A to select all the sub-notebook .enex files in that folder.In the left pane, select the notebook you want to import them into.Press the 'Play' icon in the upper right.The .enex files will cycle through. You should see each note unpacking.When done, use the red 'X' to clear the sub-notebook list. Use the file folder icon to move to the next notebook and select the .enex files.Select the next OneNote notebook on the left. Rinse, lather, repeat.Since you have OneNote open and in between imports you can check - the notes will be filled in. There will be one empty section that can be deleted.If you work in blocks, Batch can have its available notebook list refreshed by right clicking and select 'refresh'.Once you are done, you can open a notebook, click on the down arrow near its name, and click on the pin on the right. This will make OneNote look a lot like Evernote with all notebooks immediately accessible.

I've been a user of Evernote since 2010. 'Conflicting Notes' is my single biggest frustration. I use it specifically because it can sync over multiple devices. They are never used concurrently. I have 4 desktop machines, 2 laptops, 2 tablets, and a phone. Syncing is a vital feature for me. Right now I have 18 notes in my Conflicting Notes folder. How hard would it be to create a tool that would merge two notes with the same name and remove any duplicated text? It sounds like a freshman programming project. It is annoying enough that if a competitor ever came up with an absolutely easy and foolproof transition tool, I would be gone. And telling me to manually sync before and after editing each note should be an embarrassment to your staff. That is what we expect the software to be doing, no?
