Moleskine - Smart Notebook Paper Tablet - Hardcover - Blank Paper Digital Notebook - Notebook Compatible with Moleskine Pen +, size extra large 19 x 25 cm, color black, 176 pages

I love these smart notebooks. Only heard of them recently and feel like I missed on a lot! I love paper and taking notes, but was worried on how to organise and preserve the information in them. Incredibly Moleskine has found a perfect solution with these smart notebooks you can transfer into your phone or computer! Still amazed by this. The notebook is perfect for me and incredibly useful. Maybe I am not 100% sold on imitating a tablet with its look, maybe in the future they could just go back to normal looking notebooks. But other people may like this shape. Otherwise it's great.

So far pleased with the quality of the product. Still assessing its use with the pen.

I prefer not to take anything into a meeting that suggests that I will be concentrating on taking notes rather than participating, so I have used smartpens for a long time. The voice recording is very good, ideal in fact for a 'darkened room' presentation, assuming permission is granted. It's also handy for departmental and/or Board Meetings where it may be crucial to make sure that everything is recorded.As you would expect from Moleskine, the design principles are spot on. The Ellipse Pen shape takes some getting used to, and the angle of the pen to the paper needs to be optimal as well, especially when starting writing from 'off'. This instant on feature is a good innovation for me, although I find it better to press the pen to the page slightly and wait a beat before writing, otherwise the first letters may get lost. The 'tablet' book design is not for me; it is style over substance, and makes life more difficult, especially as there is no ribbon to keep your place. The size is identical to my ipad Mini, and I would prefer something more pocketable, for example like their notebooks, for goodness' sake! The tiny little books are too small to write steadily on, and the ipad Mini-sized ones are too big to draw out subtly in a meeting.What is impressive is the transfer to phone/tablet/PC software, which is almost instant and generally pretty accurate. The main downside to this is that you have to make up your mind which device is going to be most useful to you, because you can't keep a full record on all of them without shutting them all down except your favourite.It's a big step forward from the Echo smartpens

Exactly as it was supposed to be. Quick delivery, no extra unwanted packaging.

This purchase was a complete waste of money as you can't use the app to upload the data from the pen. Therefore you're better off buying a normal notepad rather than wasting your time and money. Also, moleskine customer service is really poor. The app doesn't find the pen consistently and when it does it can't upload what you have written in the book. Really disappointing product as conceptually it sounds great!

Love! It is part of my daily life. Very good quality.

Does what it says

I appreciate that with the pen it does some cool stuff - BUT, why did they need to make it so expensive ?
