Moleskine Smart Writing Set Smart Notebook & New Smart Pen (2022) – Store Handwritten Notes Digitally, with Connected Notebook Notes App (Only Compatible Smart Notebooks)

I LOVE this! I treated myself looking for something distraction free to draw and write with and serves this purpose perfectly. You can't beat the feel of real paper and Moleskine paper is top quality (I'm not a connoisseur but compared to my £1.99 (insert supermarket brand here) notepad this feels like real quality.What you're paying for here is the Smart Pen and as a concept, it's absolutely fabulous. Once paired with your chosen device you can simply write in the notepad - your don't even need your device to be close by, the pen stores your notes in its memory until you open the app and then your notes are downloaded to your device. Sure, you can see your notes being written in real time if you have you're device on and the app open but that's not distraction- free but is a perfect demonstration of this magical little pen and notepad.At first I wondered if the pen would shift around in my hand causing problems with the IR sensor but found that the lid clips in place at two positions so the flat part of the lid rests comfortably against the index finger knuckle. The two positions seem to correspond to left and right handed use. There's a definite click when rotating the lid into these positions.Your notes can be exported to various formats including SVG vectors which I have tried with Affinity Design and Concepts with limited success and the Moleskine Notes app needs more development but is quite capable. More so than I expected actually.It's not as elegant as my fountain pen and seems to rattle a little but not during actual use.Sure, it's expensive and before it arrived I already had buyers remorse but not any more. Its a niche product and you should do your own research as to whether its right for you but wow, it's amazing.Update 20.4.25: I've come to realise that the Moleskine app is actually more capable than I first found. In particular, exporting. I wanted to export my writing and drawings to SVG and use it in Affinity Design and Concepts but had limited success. I have since found that exporting to PDF has an option to export to vector PDF which works perfectly with both of the above apps.

So I am going back to school… again. This will be my 3rd Bachelor’s and no, none are in basket weaving or women’s studies. Any who, I only have 43 credits to take after all my transfer credits etc.so just the core classes for the new course of study which by the way is homeland security and emergency management. I work for FEMA in IT and since my other degree’s are CJ and creative writing I figured I would get something that actually relates to my career choice. So the books. I wanted something sturdy. What I really wanted was moleskins smart books but for large people… those little 7x5’s make my eyes cross. So I searched for 8.5” x 11” or large in hardcover moleskins and I found nothing. I did find one larger than 7X5 but it’s soft cover and 9x6 maybe. I bought them but after receiving them not quite what I wanted. So I searched again and found this. That I have purchased. They are beautiful. The size of a regular notebook, hard covers, I don’t remember how many sheets but it’s over 100 and the paper quality is heavier weight as I wanted. Now that I have received them I am awed by their beauty and functionality. It actually makes me think of the movie, “7” where kevin spacey’s psychotic killer fills hundreds of notebooks with tiny print just talking about inocuous stuff. I planned to use it for school, but feeling inspired I think I shall create my own manifesto, or maybe a tome of knowledge. Well done NiceShine. But no matter what you do I’m not selling it on kindle… I heard about how them writers are treated. By hones :)

Extremely difficult to set up. The smart writing set here doesn’t come with clear instructions. I had to hunt around online and try a million things for a week and a half. Finally it is working. I’m the meantime I misplaced the charger. I’m sure I’ll find it but I thought I would provide a second charger for this event issue. Come to find out they DON’T SELL CHARGERS SEPARATELY?!? What kind of ridiculous complaint sells a $260 writing set with a chargeable pen but doesn’t sell replacement chargers?!?So to recap….- expertly difficult to set up- zero customer support- zero instructions- no ability to repurchase a pen charger.So if I don’t find my charger I just wasted $260!?! I am steaming mad!
