Totally agree. I’ve had my RocketBook for almost a year and it’s only been a fair investment. The ink is the major problem. It’s too faint and you have to erase it within 30 days. The ink smudges terribly and is almost invisible. The pens need to have a much wider nib - not just fine and extra fine.
I'm glad I am not the only one who thinks this way! If the ink was just better, I would have loved this product. The erasing became a real chore for me. Thanks for the comment and stay tuned for more because I am going to make more stationary videos!
Man! Finally someone who dare tell the sad truth on how awkward is the writing experience on these notebooks. For me the biggest no-no is how hard it is to correct small mistakes: you need to deploy an entire arsenal (towel + water) for a tiny mistake, and this at the risk of erasing what’s around. For this I shelved mine because it has no use for me. Now I use the pen that comes with the rocktebook to write on a moleskine and the writing experience is far better! I can use the builtin eraser without worrying about damaging the sheets. To scan the notes there are many apps to do that on the stores. Personally I use the free version of camscanner and it’s more than enough.
I know some people use a small spray bottle and towel for smaller mistakes. But even then, I do not think that it worth the hassle lol I liked the idea, though, that scanning something can easily go to multiple spots with the Rocketbook but yeah there are other alternatives anyways. Thank you for the comment!
I love gel too! I have really stuck with the Pilot G2. Trust me, I get your pain that you cannot use the Rockebook and gel ink lol Thanks for the comment!
On youtube, there is a video comparing the "rocketbook wave vs core" or alike - maybe the wave suits you better, as the paper is less shiny, less smudges with the pen... but it is erasebble with microwafe, not with towel... i did not get it jet, so i can''t jet tell from own experiance...

Absolutely! Thanks for the post - The writing experience is so bad I may have to shelve it as well
I really wish the writing experience was better, oh well :/ Now I am spoiled by Leuchtturm notebooks lol
I have the same issues. The writing comes out very inconsistent and unprofessional. Great idea but needs more time to fix the problems.
Totally agree with you. Most important about writing is a reliable ink/pen. I really love a gel pen. However, it doesn’t work on this book.

Interesting! I did not know that. I wonder why they decided to make those key differences. Thank u for ur comment!
I really like the Frixion Markers.
I do not like the Frixion clickable pens- only the ones with the cap.
Really? What do you like about the markers? I never gave them a try.
