Google Notebook has been updated. First, there's a new version of the extension (1.0.0.14) that lets you make the mini notebook pop out into a new window. Now you don't have to go to the site to see the full notebook.
Google also updated the rich-text editor and included the same big buttons that are now available in Google Page Creator.
Public notebooks have feeds, so if you find an interesting notebook, subscribe to the feed read the updates.
{ Thank you, Chad. }
