RocketbookCore Reusable Spiral Notebook, Executive Size 6x8.8, Red - Lined Pages, App-Connected, Erasable, Durable Cover, Ideal for School, Work, and Creative Projects

This is the product that I've been waiting for since I heard about the very first Livescribe release 13 years ago. And, I think it's proof that the best solutions are often the simplest and most elegant. I'm an IT professional, a notetaker, and a very fast typist. If I'm in a formal meeting, I have no problems sitting in front of a laptop computer and documenting what is going on almost word-for-word. However, the vast majority of the time, I'm not in that kind of formal meeting setting and don't need that level of detail. Instead, I'm running around from place-to-place or meeting-to-meeting carrying around notebook and pen. Jotting down this and that. Diagrams. To Do Lists items. Contact information. Passwords. Anything and everything. I've tried tablets. I don't like them. I have a personal cellphone, a work cellphone, and a work laptop that I carry around when working with customers. For me, a tablet doesn't bring anything to the table that I can't do better with a smartphone or laptop and becomes just another piece of technology I have to carry around and keep charged. If I'm dealing with a purely technical solution, then I prefer to type on a full-sized keyboard in a laptop. But, ultimately, a notebook and pen are really all I need the vast majority of the time to get the job done. The problem then becomes the ever-increasing stack of used notebooks containing information that I likely only needed for a short period of time ... but also likely containing information I don't just want to toss in the trash. Lots of wasted paper ... and lots of wasted time shredding the most sensitive information. That is why, when I read about the most recent iteration of the Rocketbook, I was ecstatic. This is finally what I'd been waiting for. My 2 biggest complaints about the original Livescribe design was that, first, the special notebooks were far more expensive than ordinary notebooks ... while still being one-time-use notebooks. Second, and more significant, was the reliance on a very expensive hi-tech pen. Pens and keys are two of the things that people misplace the most often. Keys people typically find afterwards because they're necessary. Pens? Not so much. I've had dozens of pens "disappear" only to eventually find them in the same exact toolbox. A recurring and natural progression from desktop to toolbox. I've tried getting nice, refillable pens in the $30 range ... thinking "It costs more. I'll be more careful about where I place it" and finding that didn't make it any better. So, the fact the original Livescribes were dependent upon keeping track of a pen that cost several hundred dollars was a huge concern. With Rocketbook, that's not a concern at all! Pilot Frixion pens are standard, non-technical erasable pens. I got a multi-color 8-pack for just $13, and a 5-pack of the fancier retractible ones for $1 each. The pens are easy to find, cheap, and therefore easily replaced. So, while the Rocketbook does require that specific type of pen to be used, a multipack of pens is all you need to ensure that you have them wherever you might need one without having to worry about it if you misplace one. Very convenient. The other huge improvement is the polyester-based paper and the fact it's highly reusable. I understand that the previous iteration of the Rocketbook required that the notebook be microwaved to erase the sheets and that this process also limited how many times the notebook could be reused and how it could be reused. This new iteration eliminated that and makes it as simple as having a small spray bottle of water and a kleenex (or the microfiber towel the kit includes). Instead of an "all or nothing" erasing approach, you now have the flexibility of choosing exactly which pages and/or which portions of pages you want to erase all by where you spray the water and wipe away the ink. Earlier today, while setting up a new computer for a customer, I had all of the various passwords for the accounts and software they used scattered across over 10 pages of notes. When I was finished, I cleared out just one page, transferred all of those various passwords to that one page, and then erased the rest of the pages. Once consolidated, I could then use the Rocketbook app to capture the information and e-mail it to myself. Had I written it more clearly, I also would have had the option to get the image data transcribed to text. This is where the technical intregration comes into play and is also why a multi-hundred dollar pen is no longer needed. I already have 2 multi-hundred dollar smartphones handy. Especially when the basic NOTE app on an iPhone can take a photo of an ordinary sheet of paper and convert it into a PDF file; or combine multiple sheets into one file. Why pay even more for something I can already do easily? An app for one of those phones is all the extra technology that's really needed to utilize the features of the special pages in the Rocketbook. And, that's what I love about this product. It uses the technology (i.e., the smartphones) I already own, it uses a relatively ordinary and cheap pen, and it has special polyester-based pages that work as well as normal paper ... while being erasable either by the pen's eraser or by water & cloth. A $30 notebook that you only need ONE of and replaces dozens of regular notebooks quickly makes that $30 notebook very cheap by comparison. It takes the model of "a pen and paper" and instead of re-inventing the wheel or overcomplicating it, just tweaks it to make it a more technological and ecological friendly solution. I had the Executive pad just one day before ordering the full-sized notebook, which I will use for sketches and diagrams. And, I liked that I had the lined pages for the Executive pad ... whereas I could get the plain sheets for the drawings. Allowing the two notebooks to serve very specific purposes. I've been extremely pleased with how well the notebooks have to proven to be exactly what I've been waiting for.

The Rocketbook is a great tool for note taking and sketching. It saves time by allowing you to choose where you want your photos to go every time. It also saves all the sketches in stark black and white, saving me tons of time in editing and retouching photos. Access to the app is as helpful as anything. It is also nice to wipe off the pages to is to use them. I can save documents directly into a Google drive. The ink wipes off easily, and the pages are durable. The ink can smear a little when you first draw with it, and if you erase too much in one place, it can become hard to draw.

First of all, of course I love this book because it's designed to sustain and not waste tons of paper. However, there are a few things about it that must be noted. I got this notebook because I'm in grad school, work full time, and do work study. Plus I play a lot of games so I need to take a lot of coordinated notes.I have reviewed everything I tried separately, which I'll paste at the very end of this.TL;DR in the middle.I noticed one reviewer from several years ago test out all of the pen colors and post them. I wanted to do the same because I was hoping maybe the formula had changed, but this is not the case. The photo that says "phone version" I took with my phone, the other photo is the one that was scanned from the Rocketbook, using the pens, with their app.Suffice to say, do NOT waste your money on the highlighters, and the felt/fine tip pens only really work for darker colors. Thus, it's best to get the clicker pens and use those.As others have said, get the pen station. It is CRUCIAL since this can only be used with one type of pen. I had an old pencil case and eyeglass cleaner bottle, so clean them out really well and put the cloth in the front compartment and the extra pens and spray bottle in the big compartment and just carry it around in my back pack.DO NOT ERASE. Just because you can with these pens, doesn't mean you should. Another mentions this as well, but if you erase on the rocketbook pages it messes up the composition somehow and it's much more difficult to write over where you just erased. Also, if you erase sometimes the shavings (?) get stuck on the page and if you wipe them off they smear and then you have to try to gently scrape them off without ruining the page.Lastly, set up with the app was extremely easy and pretty straightforward. It works exactly as it says and I love that I can get a text version and a PDF scan so when my messing handwrite translates incorrectly, I can just check the image on the fly. I appreciate the double pound sign/hashtag for automatic titles as well. You can customize how your file names are saved, if scans are grouped or not, and more. The only thing I'll say is confusing about this, is the pictures they have make it look like you just push on the symbol for your desired destination, but as far as I can tell, that's not how it works because you assign them and then select in the app after scanning?It does come with a section to write down what you assigned to what, which is also erasable! (So don't write too hard if you mess up and accidentally ruin part of one line like I did before realizing it worked the same way).Overall, I LOVE this concept and this book and it's also cool there are so many colors. My partner is actually jealous and immediately wanted one for himself. I already got him one, everything he needs, but he doesn't know that yet! It's a surprise. I use it constantly, in classes and meetings and just notes to myself. I think I'll get my best friend one too since we have a penchant for gifting each other pretty notebooks.TL;DR: Only use the Click pen, do NOT get the highlighters. Absolutely get the pen station and a small glasses or pencil case for a spray bottle & the cloth. App is very user friendly.Reviews on all of the various pens (below):HighlightersThese are great highlighters for normal paper, however, if you want to use them with a reusable notebook like rocketbook, they aren't very good.They will smear your ink ans erase parts of what you've written in one to two swipes. They also show up quite poorly, if at all, when scanned and converted to the app. I tested several types of pens on that notebook, and showed the results from the scan and photo with my phone ("phone version") to show this.Fine pensI tested these pens with a few other types, pictured on the left side where it says "fine" next to them.On normal paper, or to the naked eye, they're wonderful and the colors are pretty nice for inexpensive fine tip pens.If you want to use them with a reusable notebook, though, the colors don't translate through when you scan the pages and you lose a lot of the color overall.So, they're great for normal paper but not for reusable, erasable types of paper.ClickI tested these with several types of pens, these ones have "click" or a C next to them.Out of all of them, these were the best. They write the most smoothly, and I love that the clicker is the little clip.On normal paper ("phone version") they write beautifully and are lovely shades.If you want them for reusable paper or notebooks, though, they're still the best I've found so far but they're not the greatest. When they scan, they don't translate accurately and most of the shades all look black or much darker than they are.They erase well either way, though.Pen holderThis is particularly nice for reusable notebooks or binders. Especially if you can only use specific pens with them, or have one you really don't want to lose.It's also nice because this way you can choose to attach it where and how you want. The only thing I don't like is that you can only carry one pen this way. I'd like to be able to have two attached, but I suppose with this you could just attach multiple!

In a world of many “high-end” note-taking devices, this is a fascinating tool. It is very ingenious blend of low-and high-tech means. Low-tech, because it uses a real pen on a surface that is very similar to paper. High-tech, because it offers the means to rapidly send to and archive many cloud-based solutions. All along with interesting optional features, like automatic title recognition and/or OCR capabilities.. All at an unbeatable low price, many fold lower than competing existing solutions!At the very least, an excellent value for its price. So far, I found it remarkably useful, and am contemplating the perspective of never loosing notes again!

Es la se segunda vez que las compro

Muy bueno y útil. No funciona con mi empresa por el tema de seguridad pero lo puedo enviar al personal y de ahí a otro correo.

Está em dúvida em comprar? Compre. Vá por mim, esse caderno é uma das melhores coisas que comprei esse ano. Já estou com ele faz 6 meses e vejo que valeu muito! Tanto pelas variadas opções de envio para nuvens, como ele ser ecologicamente correto já que não precisarei mais usar outro caderno. Agora eu posso usar o mesmo caderno para trabalho e estudo, e minhas anotações ficarão salvas. Fora que ele tem uma opção de handwrite que reconhece nossa caligrafia e transcreve para o digitado. Em relação a limpagem, não há coisa mais satisfatória do que passar o pano úmido no caderno no fim do dia e apagar o que está escrito. AVISO: Não cometa o mesmo erro que eu que deixei por 5 meses uma página com escritas e mesmo após apagar ficou umas manchas amareladas que podem incomodar algumas pessoas, se eu tivesse limpado na mesma semana a página estaria sem marcas.Enfim, não tenho pontos negativos. Só me incomoda um pouco o fato de ter que tomar cuidado para não bater a mão enquanto escrevo porque se não posso borrar a escrita que não secou antes dos 15s.
