Yes, as far as I can see there is no way of exporting from the Web version. You can send individual notes by e-mail, and it’s possible to “share” notebooks with individuals or create a public notebook.
Lately I’ve been thinking a great deal about the possibilities of the public notebooks—as a way of publishing text databases on the Web with (in my case) only minimal expertise in creating a website. The public notebooks sound intriguing, but Evernote is unfortunately plagued by very poor formatting capabilities. In my experiments, I find it’s difficult to make the material look attractive and readable in a Web browser, and sometimes it’s a struggle just to maintain a consistent font and font size.

Thank you for the recommendation; I will look into it further. Coming from a Palm via an iPod Touch, I find that for productivity apps, the Android platform offers me about the same variety as the iPhone/iPod Touch. One program that I am considering, although it seems to not work with IE7, my browser at work, is Catch.com. They were previously known as Snaptic. Its a bit like Simplenote meets Evernote. You may want to have a look.

Alexander,
Memento seems like quite a comprehensive program! Has it been stable, and has the sync function worked well for you?

I can’t say I’ve tried it much; for me B-folders is much more convenient due to the nature of my info

Well, I tried to spend a bit more time with Memento today. I tried to create several databases, but it was a bit too buggy to allow me to even create simple samples. Its a shame because it is a great concept. Sometimes I feel that programmers see smartphones as a training ground for their skills. Its a shame because there is an art to writing a simple, yet robust, piece of software. I think I will pass on using it for any critical work. Perhaps a later version will be more reliable?
