Consumer Critique: Rocketbook Everlast

I recently had a chance to review the Everlast notebook by Rocketbook It's designed to provide a classic pen and paper experience that is built for the digital age. 

There are some features that really make this easy and intuitive. The pages feel basically like slippery paper, and writing on it is pretty close to normal (it can smudge right away, so left-handed people might have a challenge, but in generally I didn't have a problem). When you use the Pilot Frixion pen, it's easy to erase with water (sometimes too easy - I generally just crossed out and rewrote). 

I haven't used it for long, but the Everlast is designed to be endlessly reusable. What makes it unique is that you can connect it to a variety of cloud services, such as email, Drive, Evernote, and more (not Keep, which would be nice). This makes it easy to share notes with others. You can use it anywhere, even without Wifi, and simply upload later, so you can keep working where there's limited or no data.

Because you can set up your own sources with the icons, you can come up with your own way to remember where things are going - you can even go to different folders within Drive. It's not nearly as expensive as I'd expect, either - just $34. With a light grid pattern on the background, it's easy to stay aligned, but also means that drawings don't have lines all over. It's a unique, innovative product, that makes sharing notes easy.
