Cheap in the presentation

Although Moleskin notebooks have already peaked and are given away as freebies with emblem, they have nevertheless set the standard for pleasing notebooks. In order for these notebooks can not match. The cover, made of black plastic, looks cheap; Therefore, the presentation comes as the Schlecker variant of a Moleskin notebook A5. For the price you could expect more.

The paper is, as criticized in the other reviews, although thick, but nice to be described as the spiral-bound notebook that came with the Livescribe Pen. No deductions for it.

But what is bothering me enormously that one finds not a single icon for synchronization throughout the notebook. Calculator, setting the time, battery level, etc. - everything available, so you can use it the pen with a tip. The most important icon but - to synchronize short while recording - missing. Completely incomprehensible.

You have to either way to the idea that you get in the Livescribe approach to a proprietary system. Neither fit commercial mines for the pen, nor can you change to alternative paper or notebooks from other manufacturers. The only exception: on the home page of Livescribe can download paper and notebooks, which you can then print on his printer - when the printer packs the high resolution because the sides are covered with a fine mesh of a coordinate system (the pen works practically as a GPS). Therefore, the notebooks are downloaded, though plain, up to 25MB (!) Large.
