Hi gang, I am new here but not to Evernote. I absolutely love it. Anyhow, I am having a bit of an issue and am hoping someone can help me with it. I opened a note that had some really small text in a pdf that I was wanting to read. As it was so small I hit the ctrl key and the roller on my mouse to see if I could get it large to read. Well now all my text in all my notes is really big and zoomed in. I have tried ctrl and the mouse wheel again, I have checked the font size and it is a normal size (10 or 12). It is fine on my mobile device. Any suggestions on what I can do to fix this. Thanks in Advance for any help.

Add an option to view full notes, one after another, like an endless stream of notes. save me from having to open multiple notes just to review them drawn one after another on the screen, with some visual separation I can see a bunch of short notes all at once I can scroll through a series of notes like browsing a long document, for easy review still be able to make this note view full screen so I can see more of the notes at once, more like flipping through my notebook now. the existing list of notes would still provide a convenient way to jump around a large list of notes (say to get to a specific point in time in my notes) Hopefully this is not a duplicate.

Hi, Why the setting for resizing font and line-spacing doesn't exist for Evernote Web Clipper (https://drive.google.com/open?id=1AyE9eL9nFvvKvevcgYL8qj9pXGniw9n3)? It would be more confortable for the reading. Like Firefox Reading Mode (https://drive.google.com/open?id=1WIWbq88P4qijcmZAtQk8NNAgrDaCj-_i). Thanks, Thierry. -
Back in the day, you used to be able to pinch zoom a note and the text would get bigger but remain within the window width. I believe this is called 'Autoflow'. Nowadays when you pinch zoom the text runs off the right side of the window and you have to scroll over, down, and back, over, down, and back to read with larger text. Needless to say, annoying. I found this old thread on the topic, but it is dead and has not been acknowledged by the Evernote team. https://discussion.evernote.com/topic/50402-page-autoflow-not-working/ It seems that Evernote Android is using an outdated WebView component which is the core of the problem. I would really like Autoflow to be repaired so I can read comfortably. If anybody has any information on fixing this or has their own experience with Autoflow working please let me know.

One strange aspect of Evernote is that although it allows an amazing assortment of options for note taking, it does not offer many/any features to ease the reading process. Note taking goes hand in hand with reading, listening, viewing. I will often use the "Simplified Article" option within the Evernote Chrome plugin. When I view the simplified article I LOVE IT. The article become a maximum width, the images are organized carefully with the article. It becomes easier to view and read. However there's a catch. It doesn't save the article in that format within Evernote. I understand that the point of the simplified feature is not about readability as opposed to removing parts of the page that may not relate to the article. However as a matter of user experience, it's confusing to _view_ the reader-friendly page in the browser but not see it in the application. My suggestion: A readability option for all notes. A button that will duplicate what the "Simplified Article" button does in the browser plugin. This is a problem that has been solved by others in the past and can be duplicated - https://mercury.postlight.com/reader/- 2 replies

Evernote is already used by many as a study, research, and creative tool. Its power as a learning acquisition tool could be drastically increased with an incremental learning tool; currently, the only other company using this method is the famed Supermemo, but its interface is far less developed than Evernote. I suggest adding an "incremental reading" option to the web-clipper tool, whereby one can highlight important text right within the web-page window, and when saved, it's grouped into a separate incremental reading notebook that provides prompts on when to continue reading articles at the place you left off. Incremental reading is one of the most powerful learning tools available to date--surprisingly, not many people know about this. Essentially, incremental reading is a method of breaking extensive knowledge resources down into component parts that can be assimilated into long-term memory in small increments. Rather than reading a twenty-page research article in a single sitting, one could break that into smaller 5-minute bites spread over a few weeks. This approach leverages the concept of "spaced repetition," which has been scientifically proven to drastically improve knowledge consolidation and recall. You can read more about incremental reading and spaced repetition here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incremental_reading -
I often use the Evernote Chrome plugin to quickly capture content that I'll want to read later on. I often have 5-15 minutes free throughout the day. Having a "time to read" icon or number that reflects how many minutes it would take on average to read the content would be really useful to me. I would get more done with Evernote from the perspective of making good decisions when to dive into it.

If you have the Kindle or Word app on your android you will have noticed that you can increase the font size for better reading and the words are automatically adjusted, instead of a mere zoom of the page as it were a Pdf. I wish I could do that with evernote on my phone since it's the place where I save articles I want to read later

(gbarry) i would love to be able to select all/deselect all for the checkboxes in my lists that I reuse over and over (groceries, packing, travelling, camping, and so on) i would also like to be able to toggle off and on the images in a note, maybe even the formatting! So for those that use lots of images in their lists, you toggle off images in notes, and you are left with the same list taking up considerably less room. Toggling back on the images allows better description between work chat, while shopping, printing, etc. *shameless plug i love Evernote and use it everyday! It's always open in my workplace, even though my department uses a different collaboration tool/file manager. It's my digital brain for coordinating events at home, at work and everywhere in between. It is my emergency information notebook when I take my kids anywhere, leaving their health/insurance cards with mom, means I always have the digital copy or image as backup. Who do you think presents the data more, the one who always has access to Evernote, or the one that forgets the cards at home?

I would like to recommend that you add Clearly reading functionality to the desktop app. Clearly makes reading a note at the point of capture a great experience. However, if I ever want to go back to that note in my desktop app later, I cannot leverage the distraction free nature of it and the easy font adjustments. Evernote does a great job of grabbing stuff and finding it later, but reading it later suffers.

The Evernote community should ring in on features that could improve the reading experience for articles, reports, and other long reads. I use Evernote to save articles, especially long articles, that I want to read later. So when I am in transit, going to bed, or just in the mood for a good read, I can find the articles that I saved for later reading. The offline notebooks included in the Premium account was one of the main features that convinced me to subscribe. I usually use Clearly or Web Clipper to save articles to my "Unread" notebook, and then I switch them to "Read" or another notebook after I've finished reading. There are a few small changes that I would suggest to improve the reading experience, especially on mobile devices: Night Mode: I'd love the opportunity to switch to reading on a dark background. Bookmarks: It's often difficult for me to pick up where I left off. I would use a quick bookmark feature a lot. Read/Unread?: Using notebooks for read and unread has worked well for me. One could also use tags. Is there another way to flag a note as read/unread? Should there be? That's all. I'd love to hear from other people about how they use Evernote for reading and also give suggestions for improvements. * Thank you to the developers for the great work that you all do. I love love love Evernote.

1st, I wonder if Evernote is the right tool of the trade at all. Or what other apps can do this for me for free? Instapaper is almost perfect except it allows only 5 highlights a month(!!!) for free users. That will not cut it for me. I downloaded the Web Clipper and the Clearly add-ons to my browser but frankly, it is not intuitive how I should proceed. The ultimate goal is to read on mobile devices, Android and iOS, but I guess it should work first on the desktop/in the web equally. Finally, hello everyone! -
Hey Guys, There are new and efficient ways of reading stuff then having long notes to go trough. Fast reading apps like http://velocireaderapp.com/ deliver content in a new way. It would be a huge benefit for Evernote users to have the possebility on mobile devices to send the text of a note to another app to read it there. Today in Evernote it's only possible to send an SMS, twitter, facebook, email. With the posebility to send the text to an fast reading app the backlog of stuff to read - which store all Evernote users in Evernote - would shrink. In my opinion a must have feature (at least for pro users and GTD heros). Greetings JJ

Please consider to add the automatic save of reading position and open document later at this reading point" feature to Evernote for Android or add it as an option. It would be great to start reading an Evernote document from the point it was closed earlier. -
