How to Import Documents Into the Google Notebook
Google Notebook lets you store text-based notes or documents on Google servers, giving you access to them anywhere you have an Internet connection. While Google has halted development of Google Notebook to focus on its other document platform, Google Docs, users can still access the existing version, although new accounts are not supported. You can share notes between accounts or share using offline storage by exporting the note in XML format for later import.

Tips & Warnings
You can import non-Notebook documents using your operating system's "Copy" and "Paste" commands. If you don't want to import notes into a different account, you can share the notes instead. Click the "Sharing options" button in the top bar of the note you wish to share, and enter a collaborator's email address, or make the note public.
Google Notebook only works with text-based documents. Use Google Docs to import spreadsheet, presentation or art documents.
