HOMESTEC Smart Reusable Notebook A5, Cloud Storage Note, PU Leather Notebook with Erasable Pen, as Diary Notebook, Writing Memo for School Office Home(Blue)

I have been using this notebook for about a week now and have developed some opinions.PROS* I like the idea of the reusable notebook* nice folio, I like that the pages come out to reorder* the pre-formatted pages could be useful in another context but I am fine with the lined, dotted and blank pages* pages are thin but robust* works great with Microsoft Lens scanner camera appCONS* you have to wait for the ink to dry before you can turn the page ... with a water-based pen on plasticated paper this can take a while, so you're sat there unable to write (or you take the pages out of the folio and lay them around the room to dry)* The ink doesn't simply rinse off the page with water, you have to scrub, and even then there is a faint trace of writing* Heat works astonishingly well - the writing disappears immediately with barely a trace, but who has a hairdryer on them between meetings / classes (have not tried with hand dryers like you might find in a washroom)I've not tried any other reusable notebook so I cannot comment on the relative merits of different brands.

I love stationary!I first came across this product looking to reduce my waste. I am forever buying different notebooks, for all my notes and lists (although I always forget which one was in use and would start another) so the concept of it being reusable appealed. Also, I have just started a course, so knew I will be making a lot more notes.I was doubtful it would be what I needed, but when I started writing, I got that sensory lift you get when writing on a banana skin in biro (seriously try it!). The pen glides along the paper, just begging you to continue writing for the sake of it. The ink takes a few seconds to dry (take note lefties) I mention this because if you rub too early the ink will smear, not that this is an issue because it's really not. Once dry, you can rub it out, use a hairdryer, or just rub it off with a damp cloth. I favour the wet kitchen roll method. As I do my assignments, when I no longer need them, I just wash the whole page off (so satisfying).Anyway, I liked it so much, I bought another one for my daughter (who didn't want to give mine up after using it), and then I bought the LCD Writing Tablet for my grandson (who is learning to write so that was perfect for him) and then I went to their website and ordered some extra paper (postage good and quick). Oh and then I showed my stroke advisor lady, who wrote down the details to get one because it is also perfect for her working in Health, and needing to get rid of personal information for our (UK) data protection act.So as you can tell I highly recommend this product. I like the ethos, the product (inside and out) and the customer service.This review is based on the A5 blue notebook x2 The ring binder is six ringed with a narrow pocket on the front, with three inside, one of those being a place to store cards.Personally I didn't bother with the cam software. It was not the purpose I bought this for.

Got this in a bid to be more eco with note taking. Really nice to write on, make sure you keep "normal" pens away however, I've accidentally used one on a page so that won't erase. Nice that the pages can come out. Good size for everyday use and work meeting notes also. Don't think the wipe-clean works as nicely as the erase function - but I was doing several pages so they were sticking to each other. Not tried the heat erase yet as I didn't want to erase everything. Would probably like more places to hold the pens as I like to have a range of colours, not just one. The black and blue cover is lovely also, bit different to just all black but still looks professional. Would definitely recommend.

As a a wipe clean notepad I love this. Unlike the Rocket Pad I've seen it has lined pages, dot pages and blank pages. I HUGE selling point for me. Frixtion pens write beautiful on it as well so you're not limited to dry wipe markers. The cover is beautiful and looks and feels classy. A small point for many BUT i like turning up to meetings looking like someone who writes notes a lot and not like someone who grabbed an a 4 pad from the railway station en route.The only down side is the app they tell you to download. I don't know if it's made by the people behind the book OR in a generic one. THe OCR doesn't' work, but I don't expect any machine to understand my hand writing. BUT it makes you watch a 10 second commercial before sending your notes to google drive or what ever. For me this isn't a deep breaker and the app DOES work, just not as cleanly as rocket books. I plan to hunt out a 3rd party app. but other than that all the pluses of this product AND the classy cover means I'd recommend it over the more expensive books out there.

This is a gift , but had to check it out as box was damaged due to be shoved through letterbox and not handed to me as stated.Really smart and plenty pages to use before needing to clean off . You have 3 card slots plus photo ID space on the inside cover. White polishing cloth. On the front cover there is also a loop for pen. Hidden from view is where you can slide in a sheet of paper example. Person i bought this for said it was fine at first to remove the ink. Then the next time or so was more difficult, they may need a new pen? Not as good as I had hoped.
