I guess I am looking for something to help organize note taking, quote taking etc. I don't need hyper search features - I have X1. Is Evernote better than Zotero? Or just different? Do people use both?
I hadn't heard of it 'til now. It looks interesting too. There are so many applications to learn! (I'm working with Casemap right now too--which is a pricey lawyer product, but I think Evernote can do about 70% of what Casemap does for no cost).

BTW, I went back and read the help notes to Evernote and found how to link to my hard drive.

As for quote taking, I used Evernote recently for a fairly large paper with more than 100 footnotes. I put the citations and the quotes in Evernote and it was easy later to plug them into the paper. I suspect that you can do the same thing with Zotero, from the looks of its website, plus it also looks like it has more features, like citation exports rather than cut and paste. The advanced search looks interesting--it may be almost a complete replacement for Casemap.
