Great, thanks for the suggestions. I'll take a look at TreeLine. I'll also look at Org-mode (I don't use Emacs but I'm always interested in trying new tools). I should have mentioned that a lot of the books I read have math in them and I enjoy using LyX to write math-related notes. I guess I'll have to make some sacrifices either way I decide to go.
