Google announced that Notebook will be closed soon and the current notebooks will be moved to Google Docs. Instead of using Google Docs, I want to download the content as an xml (atom) file and use some other online service such as one of these.

When I export the data, I see a question mark on non-Latin characters such as Turkish letters 'şŞğĞıİ'. Is there a way to download the content with utf8 support?

    Did you find a solution? Just for the record, from the list you showed, none were to my liking. Too big. I wanted something as simple as Google Notebook itself. So I started the development of [jottinx](http://jottinx.com) as a free alternative for Google Notebook. Maybe check it out? I apologise for the shameless promotion, but I want feedback from users. The software is currently still in development/beta. – nathanvda Dec 02 '11 at 10:09
  • @nathanvda I've exported my notebooks correctly and imported them to jottinx and the characters are perfectly transferred. Thank you very much for the suggestion, it looks very promising. – petrichor Dec 02 '11 at 10:54

I experienced the same problem with Google Chrome, but I was able to download the xml files in UTF-8 encoding using IE9.

I don't know whether this has something to do with the browser selection, though; I haven't tried on Firefox yet.

  • Yes, it works fine when I export them with IE9 when the Google Notebook interface is in Turkish, such that it is 'Google Not Deftefi'. The atom feed has still question marks when I do it with Chrome even the Google Notebook interface is in Turkish. – petrichor Dec 02 '11 at 10:53

I want to know the answer too. However as an emergency alternative, ZOHO's notebook importer could correctly handle the encoding.
