I am not impressed at not being able to transfer my notes. It doesn't recognise URLs, but this still seemed to me to export the most data successfully and correctly.
However, it cut off after a certain amount of text. This picked up a portion of the research notes and put them into the 'Extra' field. They all just ignored them, except for the Refer export format. In none of the above were my extensive research notes picked up. In BibTeX, there was also some muddling of fields, and URLs were not picked up.
In Endnote (Export), there was some muddling of fields. In RefMan, some of the dates of publication came through incorrectly! I think it may have become confused with dates or 4-figure numbers which occurred in other fields. Most of the basic info came through with all of them. I am not experienced in this kind of thing, so I compared imports using 4 formats: RefMan, BibTeX, Endnote Export and Refer. I have been trying to import my libraries from Endnote (V9 for Mac) with partial success. Once I can get this thing rolling, I'll surely become a Zotero "evangelist." Thanks for your quick feedback since the release. This is the first step in making the transition to Zotero. Once I can begin this process I hope to completely abandon EndNote, not because it's a bad product, but because I need to catalog so many kinds of media, images, websites, qucickly from the browser, and Endnote is cumbersome for someone not tech savvy, like me. Will Zotero read any other kind of documents? Maybe there's another way to convert the library into a document that Zotero can read, besides the RIS files? If Zotero will read the gamut of library bibliography entires, why not a Word document? (I know nothing about programming.)
I wonder if there's another way to export my bibliographies to Zotero.

I am able to download the RIS style, but it seems like my version of EndNote doesn't know what to do with it (EndNote 6).
