Just found some notebooks for 17 cents at Walmart. I think I’ll take pictures of that and upload them to Google Drive for free, but nice try….

Please don’t confuse chic and trendy with quality. While this is a cool idea,and moleskine has plenty of cool ideas, they do not make a quality notebook. After a little while they just fall apart.

But wait, there’s more! According to the Moleskine site, you get three months of Evernote premium included in the purchase. Still not worth $25 bucks though. Even if you do get some stickers thrown in. AND it’s not operational with Android yet.

It functions with the Evernote app (only iOS at this point)

they do. but its OCR (i.e. gotta be typed, photo’d and transcribed) unless they’ve added functionality.

Did you miss the part where this is for iOS only right now?

Can you elaborate on the transcribing capabilities? I’m having trouble finding anything on this.

thanks.

It IS snazzy.
It IS smart.
It IS NOT worth $25.

just thinking that. and Google Drive has transcribing capabilities, too–so….01c notebooks @ Staples this week are a better deal for me.
(i’m sure there’s something i’m missing, so please explain the advantages)

There’s more info in the linked page. Apparently there’s a “special dotted paper pattern on the pages that was optimized for new features in Evernote”. But wait, there’s more: you get stickers!

Since it’s being done through taking a picture, wouldn’t it work the same with any other notebook?
