Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Am I missing something? Can I clip web pages to Evernote in Android? I'd thought that I could save to Pocket and share from there, but it sends the text version, and those do not have the content in any of the examples I tried. They were remarkably useless, in fact.

Question: where are the best places to find good deals on electronics and computer stuff? I don't mean like tigerdirect.com, has low prices, but rather "Here is a short term deal on refurbished blahblahs". Woots and the like. Is there a consolidated source you like? II used to take a gander at the gizmodo daily post, but I've stopped reading there so much recently, and there's a lot of clickbaity junk to scroll through to get to the mother lode. Any good pages to bookmark?.

Hey. New board.

Can I clip web pages to Evernote in Android

I do not think so. Drive me nuts, since I do all of my recipe-reading and a lot of my recipe-searching on my phone/Fire. I clip the link using the normal share function, then later go back through and re-clip the full page on my computer. The bookmarklets don't work either.

Dolphin has a plugin that SOMETIMES works, but it doesn't always clip any content at all and sometimes the content is super ugly, and I find I'm better off just doing the link.

I searched again and found this: [link]

If it works well, it would be worth $2.99 but there's no way to test it! Annoying.

Hey. New board.

Hmm. The HTC stock browser has a built-in readability-like thing. If you open an article/recipe in that, then use Share, it shares the entire page, not just the URL. It appears to essentially be a printout that's being shared, but it includes images and whatnot. I don't know if the non-HTC stock browser has anything similar. Chrome doesn't appear to.

Anyone logged into chrome? In terms of synching passwords and bookmarks, if you logout does it simply stop synching? Or do the passwords and bookmarks you have already synched disappear?

I'm switching computers and thinking of logging into chrome as an easy way to port over bookmarks and passwords. But if it is going to cause me problems it is not that hard to copy over appropriate profile files.

Ah, excellent. I think gizmodo cherrypicks from either or both of those, actually.

Thanks.

I think Chrome simply stops syncing if you logout. I don't recall seeing synced stuff disappearing.
