Don't be silly, local notebooks are a really useful thing when flying and when out of range of cell service (like camping, which is a great time for continual thinking without distraction). Without a capability for offline notes it will be less useful than if it had that capability.

You can work offline just fine. Notebooks will sync when you are back online. Seems like that covers all of your use cases just fine.

Not sure how well the merges work in practice, though.

Not too well in Evernote has been my experience. It seems like every time I work on something offline for any length of time it gets into a manual merge bucket.

So there's a local cached copy that you can back up if you're a stickler for keeping local backups of your data?
