Take Notes : A new Notepad on Kindle

Review
Using the new Take Note app on Kindle is quite easy. It will take a minute or so to get started. It proves to be a simple notepad app ideal for taking notes on Kindle on the go.
Take Note can create notes and add them to a list in a chronological order with date and time which you can browse through using the View notes screen.

The links on menu are quite intutive. It includes word wrapping and font size selection. However the files saved on the kindle do not get saved with a file  extension and makes it difficult to open with standard text editors. 

Overall however Take Note is a useful notepad tool.

Features
-Can be used as a Checklist for ToDo & Shopping list
-List View in a chronological order
-Quick memo / notes
-Export Notes to HTML
-View Notes by date time
