So I’ve been using the Moleskin Evernote Note book for over a six month and I have say I like it. There are however some caveats to that.
First is there is simple not enough stickers to make full use of them. You end using all the sticker at the front of the notebook or hoarding them till the end and not using them.
Second the camera app is not actually that good. It takes okay picture but it edge detection isn’t all that. It’s best feature is how the sticker automatically tag the picture with the cat and tags in Evernote but as I’ve spoken about the paltry amount of them.
I’ve taken to using Scanner Pro. That app does a much better job of edge detection and has a nifty change to high contrast black and white, which with my bad hand writing is a massive boon.
Third it is quite expensive for a Notebook even compared to the premium you pay for Moleskins. Now I have to admit to a fondness of Moleskins as love the feel of the paper when I’m reading and writing. Also the price does include three months Evernote Premium subscription which is about . I’ve found that using scanner pro to add the notebook images seems to stay under the 60mb limit of a free Evernote account. The only time I went of was when a added over fifty pictures.
In conclusion. Nice notebook if you more physically orientated rather than digital. It works for me but I’d probably just use Evernote with any Moleskins notebook and Scanner Pro as it is a cheaper option that only missing the stickers.
Now if you could get the sticker separately then it might change things but we will have to wait and see.
Evernote Moleskine book. £23 each from Moleskine and Evernote Directly.
Though I have seen it on Amazon for as low as £16 that if you want give them the money.
Evernote Premium is £2.99 for a month or £31.99 for a year. (Update If you go directly with Evernote the prices are £4.00 and £35 for month and year respectively. Dont know if the cheaper price with Mac App Store or something else weird is happening.)
Also try Rhodia ‘Webbie’ Webnotebook which I’ve heard good thing about and can be brought for around £6.95.
Will review Evernote at some point as it to big of a subject to go into here.
