"Apps and books are more similar than they might seem. They each diffuse content, provide access to expertise, and allow the cataloging and consolidation of knowledge into accessible forms for learners to study. And while there are important differences—apps can be constantly refreshed new information, while a book is what it is the moment it is published—there are some lessons to be learned with how we collect and categorize books."

Ken's Key Takeaway: I knew about the OCR in photos. I did not know about the OCR .pdf function. Awesome! Ken
Are you a digital packrat? Are you in need of a searchable repository for everything you want to recall later? Does the idea of automatic OCR (Optical Character Recognition) for all your scanned PDFs get you excited in a way only seriously organised people could ever understand? If so, Evernote is the tool you need right now – and we’ve got the perfect manual to get you started using it like a professional.

Hanks everyone, it really is a fantastic tool and I am still finding ways to use it better. It certainly helps to stay better organized.

Intetesting idea. UT-Brownsville just launced a 1-to-1 iPad pilot project. App Libraries may be a good way to distribute apps to all members of a program.
Perhaps this will be useful to our 'iPad'ers.
