- After 1-year using the Rocketbook Core (Everlast) and Fusion erasable notebooks, I have adopted several habits and tricks that I'd like to pass along in this video.
This is certainly not an exhaustive list of tips, so if you have others, please share them in the comments so that others can make the most of their notebooks as well.

Tip: For precise corrections I tried with great success using a cotton tip swab i.e. Q-tips - dampen one end to erase with accuracy and use opposite end to dry , without affecting surrounding writing. Works very well!
Nice tip! Thanks for sharing 👍
Great idea, thanks!
Great tip! But I still hope rocketbook releases a dedicated eraser because q-tips aren't sustainable
I literally just heard about these an hour ago. Now, I so want one.
I have to write EVERYTHING down, or I’ll forget. So, I have notes, post it notes, and loose documents “everywhere “.
Someone on TikTok mentioned it and I had to investigate. On Amazon, $35... very responsible.
I'm glad you found my video then 👍 You may be interested in my 'Everything Rocketbook' playlist as well. It has many more videos on all the different notebooks, the app and tips ✌️
One of the most detailed video on the subject that i found so far, thank you for the time and the tips !
Thanks for this Jake, very concise and helpful. I am big on bullet journals, and decided to take a chance with rocketbook as a supplementary note-taking tool. Really appreciate the advice here!
Thank you for becoming my go-to on Rocketbook; your videos are great!
Thanks Samir! I'm glad you fine the videos useful 👍 In working on a new one that should be up in the next few weeks about all the FriXion accessories ✌️
Jake, I learn something from every one of your videos. Those water brush pens are such a great idea for precise erasures - thank you!
You’re very welcome!
OMG! I did not know this existed!! I must find a reason to justify buying one! I LOVE LOVE LOVE Evernote. I generally put all my notes, both quick shopping lists and any time I need to actually take notes. I have a full size keyboard for my tablet. But I can see how using a pen/notebook could be useful. I do use sticky notes on my desk every day. So many ideas! Thanks for the great videos about these notebooks.
Thanks for watching! I'm glad I could help 👍
Just received for Christmas and excited to dive in. Thanks for the tips!
No problem Gail! I'm glad you found the video helpful 👍 You may also like the other videos in my 'Everything Rocketbook' playlist ✌️ Good luck and enjoy!
Same! I was so happy when I got mine.
Me too!!
Can you tell me why you use it? I must be missing something because I see no point in it and just got one as a gift.
I could just write on normal paper, with a normal pen, and scan it to any cloud service or scan it with an app like Evernote if I wanted it searchable.
I've watched several review now and I can't see anything that makes this better than that. In fact it seems way worse as you need to always have this with you, buy and use special pens that take time to dry etc...
What am I missing here?
@@sethpeterson8261 you can buy these pans in every store and they are not that special. The point is that the inbuilt software makes scanning easier and the fact the it's erasable allows you to have one notebook at all times.
This was SUPER helpful!!! You convinced me to buy one for school, and I LOVE it!! Thank you!!
Thank you Becca, I'm so happy to hear that you found the content helpful and that you're enjoying your Rocketbook ✌️ Thanks for taking the time to let me know 👍
I recently bought the Mini and needed some tips like these. Thank you! 🙏🏽
You're welcome! Thanks for watching! I'm glad I could help! 👍✌️
I've just discovered this and got myself one! Thanks for everything, it's just amazing!
No problem! I'm glad you like it ✌️ You may also like some of my other videos in my 'Everything Rocketbook' playlist 👍
I just set mine up! I’m so excited to learn more!
Nice Cecilia 👍 Congratulations and welcome to the Rocketbook family. You may find my playlist 'Everything Rocketbook' helpful if you're looking for more information ✌️
Received a Rocketbook core today and I’m very excited to get started!!
Thank you for your year's worth of tips. I love my new rocketbook
I'm glad you found the video useful 👍
Grandma Here: I wish I had found you before Christmas, these notebooks would be Christmas presents for my kids. Thank You for the Valuable information!
Thank you for your feedback, I'm happy to hear you found the video useful 👍
@@JakeReevesVideo
Good Morning Jake, the kids will be here for Christmas, I'm looking forward to sharing this video with them. Thank You!
@@stefanherns4541 I hope they find it helpful. And happy holidays!
They also sell a large number of compatible pens on amazon in every color and style.
See my other video for how all the FriXion pens, markers and highlighters work in a Rocketbook 👍
Thanks Andrew. I will go for that
I have been loving my rocketbooks. Thanks for some new tips.
Thanks for watching and sharing! ✌️
Get a reMarkable.
Jonathan, you say "rocketbooks" plural. Is there a reason you have more than one? Thanks!
Your Rocketbook videos are well thought out and presented. I combined the Panda Planner with the Everlast notebook. Simply unbend the top spiral and then simply wind down. It takes seconds. You don't need to buy a larger spiral. It takes seconds once you unbend the first spiral. Don't try to fit both covers. Also, I wet 1/3 of the supplied towel and leave the rest to dry.
Thanks Malcolm. And nice tip! I've combined my 2 Rocketbook Flip Notebooks that way as well 👍
Thanks for your reviews, mine is coming today 🙂
Great tips and hints! Thank you!!
You're very welcome, thanks for taking the time to let me know ✌
Thank you for the great tips!!
No problem! Thanks for taking the time to comment 👍
Jake this was a great set of tips. I just bought my first 6x8 Rocketbook and exploring how to use it now! Great job on this tips video - really useful!!
Thanks, if you liked this, you may enjoy my Everything Rocketbook playlist as well 👍
@@JakeReevesVideo ahh yep already queued :D I'm considering getting one for my sister who is big into bullet journaling and it looks like you have a video on that too! :)
That’s what I primarily use mine for 👍
Great video, thanks for the tips.
You should read about bullet journaling how they handle multi page notes. Works really well.
I was unsure whether I wanted the fusion or not, but after watching your video I’ve made up my mind to buy one. Thanks!
Nice! I hope you enjoy it 👍 Thanks for watching ✌
This is such a great tips video. Got my first book today and it's is so helpful to know about the permanent marker templates and the 30 day window! Thank you 😊
No problem Claire, I’m glad you liked it 👍 If you liked this, make sure to check out my Everything Rocketbook playlist ✌️
@@JakeReevesVideo I certainly will!
Thinking about picking up one of these notebooks but I was on the fence. Didn't know that the app had pages to try out so gonna hop on that now. Thanks for the beautifully made and well narrated video. 👍
Thanks, I appreciate it! And thanks for watching 👍
Ditto, also the fact that they have a multi color pen out pushed me over the edge as well.
I have another video that walks through all of the different types of FriXion products that you may find interesting then. Pens, highlighters and markers.
@@JakeReevesVideo they also have a series of multicolored pens, one pen multiple colors, in a metallic "adult business" style.
Also looking around Japan has REALLY embraced the frixion pen. Google shopping shunted me to a number of Japanese sites and english sites that import and resale japanese stationary that had hundreds of options, stamps, stamps for planning, character pens, etc. Jetpens.com and tokyopenshop.com were in english language.
This is a great video..... thank you.!
Thx for the follow up video!
No problem Richard. I have a whole playlist called 'Everything Rocketbook' where I've made a bunch of videos that you may find helpful and interesting.
Your videos have been very helpful. Not having used OCR apps and storing notes, a video about the software use would be great. Tips to organize all the scanned material would be very useful. I can barely manage my Google Drive stuff now. Thank you.
Same! I have so much stuff that's been added to my Google drive over the years but with no organization whatsoever!
Just got one for Christmas. I think better when I write things out. So glad I don't have to waste paper to do so now.
Awesome! Congratulations 👍 I hope you enjoy it ✌️
Thank you that was really helpful and a thorough review of the capabilities of the Rocketbook.
You're very welcome Kate. I have a whole playlist of Rocketbook reviews and tips that you may like as well. All the best!
@@JakeReevesVideo thanks I've bought the fusion A5 (in UK) thanks to your link and discount, so will see how I go :)
Nice! I hope you enjoy it ✌️
Great review, I work remotely and this is awesome. Thank you
I'm glad you liked it 👍 Thanks for watching ✌
Great tips! I’ve learned these along the way through trial and error. It’s been so worth problem solving using this new type of system for me. Your videos have also been a very useful resource. I would add that recently, I use the water pen and have found that I wet the mistake and brush away from other words that I don’t want to erase and that way the ink residue isn’t left around the text I’m trying to keep. Before, I was just kind of brushing any which way and then it would get so close to my other text which would be a frustrating. But yeah basically just erase by dragging towards an empty area, lift and drag, lift and drag away, instead of erasing like you would with an eraser on paper where you keep it on the paper until the writing is gone.
Nice tip 👍 Thanks for sharing
Hey just came back to say that I have recently been using small make up sponges to soak up extra water that may come out from the water brush pen on to the paper and then dry small mistakes. It’s been so helpful. It feels like using little erasers. You can squeeze the sponges enough (which helps with soaking up) when dabbing to erase or cut them as small as you want. I found a bag of them at Walmart for about 3$
Compare to other reviews this one is TOP. Thanks
Love this! I use a regular easer for small mistakes ! Super easy and leaves no mess!
Nice, just be careful not to use it too much in any one spot. I found in my test video that after about 20 re-uses it begins to remove the page coating.
Perfect video!
Thanks Kwak! I really appreciate the feedback. If you don't mind me asking, what did you like about it? I'm trying to improve with each review/video I make, so the feedback is very helpful 👍
Getting my Rocketbook today! Great tips!
Nice! Exciting stuff 👍 I hope you enjoy it, and thanks for watching! ✌️
Thank you very much!
You’re very welcome ✌️
Awesome video...i learned a lot of tricks that make using rocketbook much easier.
Thanks 👍 I'm glad you liked it ✌️ Thanks for taking the time to let me know 🙂
Excellent Video and I can see many more to watch. So 3 quick questions and I'll then watch more. 1. What is the cool lamp with the light? 2. What is the best combo of a Day Timer with Notebook you've observed?
As always, awesome video, Jake! 🚀
Thanks! I'm glad you like it! 👍 Keep making great products!
@@JakeReevesVideo You're not the guy on the RocketBook website are you? You should be! I looked on that page for an hour for info about the fusion pens but you have WAY better information!! Thanks man! I was going to switch to a different smartbook but you seem to know what you're talking about!
Thanks Megan, I'm not the guy from the website, but I'm glad that I could help. Thankfully the Rocketbook team sent me the pens so that I could make this video. I'd be happy to see them embed it in their site it that would help them 👍
@@JakeReevesVideo I was 5 minutes away from buying a neweyes LCD tablet and a bunch of other stuff! My shopping cart was full!!
I'm glad I could help save you some money then 👍 If you have other big questions just let me know. I'm always looking for substantial questions that could be made into videos ✌️
I am learning Japanese and it was astounding how the OCR could read those characters!!!
I am an avid note taker and list maker. I’m ADD and as many others, I have a ton going on in life and get overwhelmed. I recently realized how many notebooks I have full of lists everywhere. One for groceries, one for appointments, another for my kid’s activities. The lists go on and on. Lol I appreciate this video..I need to go get the correct pen. I’ll add that to my to do list 😂
I don't write (aside from some occasional measurements or small calculations) so I'd rarely use one of these if I had one, but I'm still so tempted to buy one
They do have tiny note pads too :)
Check out the Flip Mini 👍
Awesome!
I ahve been considering buying these ... found your video series very helpful in making a decision ... thank you.
No problem! I'm glad that you found it helpful!
@@JakeReevesVideo one quick question. Can I microwave Rocketbook Fusion to get it all erased?
No. Don't microwave the Everlast (Core) or the Fusion.
@@JakeReevesVideo thank you. I think you just saved my book. :)
@@RohitBhosale happy to help ✌️
You deserve more subs. Your videos look great!!!
Thanks! And thanks for watching 👍
Thank you for all these useful tips, Jack!! I am new to the Rocketbook, so I am learning a lot! GRACIAS!!
Happy to help 👍 Enjoy ✌️
So refreshingly "non-tech." I appreciate this.
The double hash tags is a phenomenal tip!
Thanks Amari! If you like that one, you may be interested in my 'Magic of Rocketbook OCR' video in my 'Everything Rocketbook' Playlist ✌ Thanks for watching 👍
Thanks.
I remember when these first came out and wanted to try them. I then promptly forgot about them because i didn't write it down, or I forgot/lost where I wrote it down at. I want to try out one of the executive sizes for work. I often use a Jr. Legal pad for scribbling notes and doing math for my CNC programs. Sometimes specific procedures for certain parts or blueprints I'll write down in case the same job comes in again in the future. The problem I have right now is the 8 inch stack of loose papers, 8x5 notebooks, and legal pads stacked in the top of my toolbox. A repeat job might come in 5 years later. I now have to remember when I last did that job, it's not too hard if it's called the same thing because I can then look up in the network the last time that particular drawing number was used as we back up everything digitally. My notes don't though because they're just for me and the yearly auditor doesn't want those kinds of things in with the office side of things. I do label my notebooks with the years or use it for a particular type of note. 10 years of that though and it gets to be a huge pain trying to remember when we did the job last, did i write notes on it, did i lose the notes, was it called something different then or a ton of other questions that pop up. I've thought about scanning them into my phone but with no good way to search the pictures or lack of time to sit there and put tags on hundreds of notes I just never did.
This on the other hand seems to answer just about all of my problems, I can start fresh and keep track of everything that i write down and maybe when i have time i can go back and slowly add in my old notes on all the other jobs that i have done. I might just have to try these out finally, if I don't forget about them by the time I get paid or lose the note I'm about to write to look into these further.
I have 3 of these books, love them. I recommend getting a Grafton pen to up your style game as they are made out of aluminum and can use the frixon ink cartridges.
Tom Lastname how do you manage the scanning of the three different notebooks. I can’t seem to figure out adding more destinations for the symbols on the second book.
You can't add more destinations regrettably, so you have to make due with the same ones. Unfortunate.
Jake Reeves ugh okay. Thank you. I totally was not expecting a reply so quickly especially from you.
No worries. Happy to help ✌️
If you put two books together and separate by destination page would that give you additional locations
These are really good tips! I hope rocketbook does make a water pen eraser in the future cause I do make a lot of mistakes when taking notes.
I added it to their customer suggestions web page, and last I checked it was listed as 'under considerarion', so hopefully 👍 Thanks for watching ✌️
Id like this for my statistics class for uploading formulas and economics for that unusual note taking sometimes.
REALLY good review of the document, I was hoping to get more info on how to set up the send to icon on the bottom and how to set up before use. Katrina
Thanks Katrina, I'm glad you like the video. Setting up the destinations folders is fairly straight forward. Within the Rocketbook App you configure them by clicking on the three bars in the top left edge, then selecting destinations. From there, you will see each of the symbols that are along the bottom of the notebook, and you can click on any of them to connect it to one of: Google Drive, Evernote, Dropbox, OneNote, ONeDrive, Trello, Slack, box, Google Photos or Email. You then log into the appropriate service and select the sub-folder in which you want to save the files. That's it. It's about as easy as logging into any of those services on their own.
I hope this helps!
Hi there!
I live in the UK and discovered your ingenious erasable book about two weeks ago and used it straight away!!
I now have the A4, A5 and also the mini sizes and absolutely love them!!
The only criticism that I have is that the pen and the little towelette don't come with a small hole in the corner so that you can attach them to the books when you're on the go so that you don't lose them.
Otherwise, bravo!! Love them so far!!😁
Thanks ☺️
Nice suggestion for an improvement Phoebie 👍 They aren't my notebooks - I don't work for Rocketbook, I just share my thoughts in the hopes someone finds them helpful - but hopefully someone from Rocketbook does see your suggestion, because I like it too ✌️
You can get a little sticker thing that has a pen holder attached though
2022 this still awesome tips
Thanks 🙏
Hello Jake,
As far as taking notes for several different classes, can I set up the icons to represent my different classes? For instance diamond-physiology/apple- anatomy/bell-physics?
Hi Sara, yes you could set up the icons that way. You would just want to create separate folders for each class in one of OneDrive, Google Drive or Dropbox, etc. Then point each of the icons to the respective folder for each class. I hope this helps! 👍
I was curious about this too. I went ahead and made a template for “Cornell Style” for O-Chem, but also purchased a stencil that is the size of a credit card/keychain to use for hectograms etc. I’m in my 30’s so used to pen/paper notes, but young enough to appreciate technology to make it easier! You can always make your bookmarks that can help you separate your notes. For anatomy I have a skull, physiology an arm flexing and also a heart ( not a little girl heart, but a heart organ).
I had the same thought about having water pen with cloth "eraser" on the other tip 👊That would be so much better
Great minds think alike ;)
Hey Jake, great video! Very clear and professional. What’s your opinion on the “planner” section of the Fusion? I’m interested in buying the rocketbook, but I don’t want to have to buy a separate planner as well. Do you have any templates that you recommend for setting up a planner section? Thanks!
The Fusion is good. I have a review of it on my channel as well as a video dedicated to how I use my Rocketbook for bullet journalling. The second video shows the templates I've developed that I use daily as an agenda for my Rocketbooks.
Hi what's up, love the video
Thanks 👍 I'm glad you like it ✌️
I liked info.
Thank you Lorinda! I appreciate you taking the time to comment and let me know 👍
I got mine for Christmas and I am in love with it!! And fund your tips in this video super helpful!! I think I somehow got water marks on a few of my pages, idk if you can get rid of them, but my biggest struggle was my pens dying rather fast, is that normal or is there a style of pen that has been reliable for you??
I'm glad to hear you found my videos helpful 👍 I can't say I've run into the issue of the FriXion pens drying too fast, but I would encourage you to check out my recent video comparing the 3 sizes of FriXion pens, as well as my one from last year looking at all the pens, markers and highlighters that are in the FriXion lineup. You may find some information in there that would be helpful 👍 you can find them in my 'Everything Rocketbook' playlist ✌️
Thanks for the great tips, getting mine delivered today, can you elaborate a little on these pens? Life expectations, I'm sure it comes down to use
Thanks Rob, I have 2 videos that talk about the FriXion pens. The first talks about pens, markers and highlighters, while the second goes into detail regarding the 3 different pen tip sizes. Both are in my 'Everything Rocketbook' playlist ✌️
Where r the templates tho? I wanna try it first
Nice review :) I really think about buying a rocket book. I'm just a big fan of the idea.
Btw. do you have a link to your adjustable lamp? It looks pretty neat
Maybe I mis-heard you but did you say you must print letter for handwriting recognition? I've found cursive works fine for recognition as long as your style is "pure" by-the-book cursive. After multiple tests I've also noticed that if your cursive writing is a bit exaggerated...perhaps a bit sloppy, the recognition works even better. It's almost as if the algorithm expects a bit of sloppiness. Anyway, experiment with cursive. it works fine. Thanks! Great video!
Thanks for the feedback Tim! I haven't been able to get the cursive to work for me when I tried, but if you've had success, hopefully others will as well! I'll pin this comment for future viewers 👍 Thanks for watching!
@@JakeReevesVideo I can send you an example of what I've been doing with cursive. How can I get it to you?
@@timmundorff2354 thanks Tim. You can find me on Instagram @jakereeves.reviews. or on Twitter @jakereevesvideo
@@JakeReevesVideo Darned if I can figure out how to get the files to you via Instagram. Created an instagram account...but can't figure out how to post anything.
@@timmundorff2354 if you go to my page (@jakereeves.reviews) you should see a 'message' button at the top, which will open a chat where you can attach photos. Thanks for trying so hard.
Don't need to buy the notebook. Print the templates and laminate them. I use a thin sharpie in all colors. It easily wipes clean with rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer, anything alcohol based. I keep medical alcohol pads for clean up. This hack can be 100% customizable with colored paper, differant sized paper, differant bindings you can think up. I keep mine in a 3 ring binder. Litterally any pen or paper can be used, so long as you have that QR code on it.
Great video. Does the OCR require internet, or is it self contained in the app?
Great question! Sorry for the slow response. Yes, it does require an internet connection to process the OCR I just tested it and it said that OCR failed while I was on airplane mode. So I suspect it is not self-contained in the app.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 👍
As far as the drying process goes, can you perhaps use a blotting method with a paper towel or with that microcloth?
Thank you, Jake! With the traditional notebook, I can go back and add more notes to an existing page. With this Rocketbook, if I wanted to add to a page that I've already erased/uploaded (let's say sketch or diagram), how would you handle this?
Thanks for the comment 👍 That is definitely still a challenge with the Rocketbook style digital notes. As it stands, the Rocketbook App doesn't let you edit existing uploads, but I know that Elfinbook had this feature, where you can write atop the PDF - so I wouldn't be surprised to see it come to Rocketbook. In the meantime, I would probably open the PDF from the cloud destination of my choice, then edit it in Mac's Preview or another PDF reader (like Adobe). Most of those programs offer some level of text formating on top of PDFs, and the ability to add shapes, etc. I hope this helps! And thanks for watching ✌️
@@JakeReevesVideo thank so much!
What would you recommend as someone about to take notes for school, like doodling and messing around with the pages? (Like which type of rocketbook )
If you are up to making your own templates as needed, and you want to doodle alongside notes on the same page, I would go for the Everlast with lined pages. The lined pages are better for writing notes in my opinion 👍
@@JakeReevesVideo yeah, the dot pages are not the easiest to write on, but very good for drawing. I use mine to take notes at my weekly D&D sessions
Fusion - Letter!
What kind of highlighters do you use?
Thanks for the videos!
The highlighters are Pilots FriXion highlighters. They come in a few colour styles. I went with the lighter pastel-like ones. Just be careful highlighting because they can cause the ink from the pens to smudge if you aren't very careful. Thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed the videos 👍
After reviewing several similar types of reusable notebooks, your videos convinced me to get the Rocketbook Fusion. I ordered it early this morning on Amazon and it was delivered shortly after 12 noon. I also ordered assorted colored pens. When you upload documents with colored ink, do the colors translate to the uploaded format or is everything black and white?
I'm glad to hear my videos were able to help you make a decision 👍 The colors to done through. You can see examples in my FriXion pens video if you want. Good luck!
I was a big fan of the Rocketbook and used it heavily for over a year. My gripe was about the Everlast cover. Over time, the plastic cover warped, making it difficult to write on that side. Has anyone else experienced this and do the latest Everlast books use the same material for their covers?
I understand what you're saying. I have both Everlast and Fusion and they both use the same thing hard plastic cover. I once folded it in a bag by accident and had to sandwich it between heavy textbooks to correct that. I also found they scratched very easily. Thanks for sharing your feedback with others here! And for watching 👍
Excellent video! Random QUESTION: what kind of lamp is that??
Thanks. It's a TaoTronics lamp I got from Amazon with a built in charging base. It is good - but the plastic frame is a little flimsy
Can I use any micro fiber or has to be the one with rocket book?
Awesome video learned lot!!!
You should be able to use any microfiber cloth, provided it's clean 👍
Thank you Jake! What is the difference with the regular rocketbook notebook, the everlast and the fusion? I’m not sure which one is better for me.
Rocketbook's Wave notebook is not infinitely reusable, so I would focus more on the Core (formerly Everlast) vs the Fusion. The only real difference is that the Fusion comes with some additional templating pages for calendars, etc. (you can check it out in my dedicated review), with the remaining pages split between doted pattern pages and lined; whereas the Core has either dotted or lined and does not have the calendar, etc. templates.
I just received my Rocketbook for Christmas. Exited about this notebook! I’ve read not to keep your notebook in the heat. Anyone have tips for hotties months?
Thank you for the tips. This is my first introduction to Rocketbook as a gift. My job involves me working with many school districts and large projects for education. If I need to do an idea page for a project, how does it work if its an ever-evolving and ever-developing item? Like a running list of ideas for a presentation? If I am erasing daily my page, how do I add to the list? Do I do it on the saved document I scanned?
There are a lot of different things that will help with evolving projects. The first is Rocketbook's Smart Lists feature, which allows you to add items to a bulletin list, then when scanned you can choose which of the smart lists you've made within the App that you want to add the items to. Another consideration is that you have about 30-days to leave the ink on the page before it will stain - so if you have an evolving mind map, you can just add to it over that time, then scan at the end. Unfortunately, there isn't yet a way to automatically overwrite a previous scan, but I'm still optimistic that they will eventually add some sort of edit feature within the App for post-processing. If you're new to the system, you may find my 'Everything Rocketbook' playlist helpful ✌
Hi Jake. I've been taking notes in my Rocketbook Fusion when I'm with clients, but there's one that I hadn't finished notating and it's taken me a while to get around to scanning and uploading - 20 days in fact. I have done that now, but when I've erased the notes from the page the notes are shadowed onto it. Is there any way to completely erase the notes shadow?
Good question... Unfortunately I haven't found a good answer yet. The letter 'ghosting' that you see is a consequence of leaving the ink on the page for too long. I've made a video about this, but I haven't found a great solution yet. 20-days is usually pretty reasonable, so I wouldn't expect a lot of ghosting at that point. My best suggestion would be to contact Rocketbook and see what they suggest. I've heard of people having luck with rubbing the page with a cloth that was soaked in really hot water (be careful)... But the Rocketbook team may be able to make another suggestion. If the ghosting is really bad and a consequence of a flaw, they may even replace the notebook.
If you find a solution that works really well, I would love to know. Sorry I can't be of more help. Good luck! ✌️
Have you tried using the Frixion eraser on the top of the pen? I just "found" my old notebook to repurpose and there were 3 year old notes that I erased because I forgot about the damp cloth. Result: a clean notebook to start 2023!
is it possible to download and upload pdf to rocketbook for example say a soft copy book or pdf notes (even a picture really maybe that you wanna label using RB so can avoid having to draw yourself each time) and edit it with rocketbook, now using your hand writing to edit... and save again...
I just got mine today! #educator
Nice 👍 I hope you enjoy it ✌️
@jake How would you feel if you get a notebook that is reusable, you can use any pen or pencil to write on it, and still create the template you created i.e. one pen erases, other don't, but eventually if you want you can erase everything and reuse the pen.
A little vague, but I suspect many people would like a notebook like that provided everything else about the workflow is simple and feels natural.
Wow this video was awesome, with this single video you made me to subscribe your channel, keep going you'll get many subs.
Pros of your video:
# Highly detailed
# Short
# To the point
# Good presentation
Advice:
# Just give a timeline in the description, so that one could just skip to a different part of the video.
# Just right all the tips in short in the description.
Thanks for the subscription, I am glad to hear that you like my content! And thank you for the feedback!
Are there any other tips similar to the double #'s for titles? Is there a list of these "hidden commands" anywhere?
No real list anywhere, that's why I made my Tips video. The only new feature I've found is that if you go into the destinations area, you can configure to have a text file of the OCR transcript written to your save folder as well.
Hello, I have had problems with my rocketbook. When I erase, I notice that the ink disappears, but if I zoom in on the notebook with my eyes, I can see that the shape of the letters I just wrote remains, is there any solution for this? It is as if they were ghost letters, an example is wanting to erase the pencil and no matter how hard you try you still see a bit of the rest of the letter shape in the background, but the sheet of paper is already clean, do you understand me?
I would try hot water, wipe dry and hot hairdryer, then let rest for a few hours - was suggested by another subscriber, but I haven't tried yet...
so I heard I can assign each icon my own category, example...exercise workouts, deck, dogs food, cars etc....since there is only 6 or 7 icons that means I can only save 6 or 7 categories? what if I have 50 different categories? Like on my note 20 ultra I can scan anything and send it to SAMSUNG NOTES where I can have as many categories.
I really like this notebook but I am trying to find a good use to it besides reusing it?
Do you have a link to purchase the core all lined pages notebook? The one above only goes to the dot-grid.
This one should work for you 👍

Let me know if you have any issues ✌️
I just bought the rocketbook everlast and was a little sad that you couldn't highlight with it because I wanted my notes to be more organised. Where did you get the highlighters from and do they erase as easily as the pens.
You can get the highlighters from Amazon and a lot of stationary stores, but I recommend that you watch my video testing the highlighters because there are some Rocketbook-specific considerations, even for FriXion highlighters 👍
Nice vid. Do your black outer covers start to bend? I’ve had this issue w two Rocketbooks.
I've had them bend a little if I accidentally cram them in a bag, but I get them back to normal by sandwiching the cover in a textbook and placing more so it over night. I hope this helps! And thanks for watching 👍
Hi Scot
How long did you use them before they began to curl?
How are they in winter weather and heat of summer?
I want to buy one as a gift.
Thanks!
This is how to do a "tips" guide!!! 😊
Hey great vid! do You have any fixes for smudging because no matter how lightly I write it, it always smudges lol.
The only suggestion I can make for smudging is to try using a thinner pen (0.5 or 0.38mm) because they dry faster. I have a whole video comparing the 0.7, 0.5 and 0.38mm FriXion pens 👍
Hello, my son wants this notebook, but I have the reMarkable and don't see any advantage of the Rocketbook over the rM. Are there some ?
Hi,
I noticed at 2:37, the set of specialized pages on Rocketbook Fusion. I am interested in the MANUSCRIPT (music staff lines) pages. Are they REALLY part of Rocketbook Fusion or is this something that is user created? Do you know if Rocketbook is planning to create translation software from their pages into proper music notation software like Muse or Finale? Thanks again for your reviews on Rocketbook.
Not sure about any kind of translation services for musical notation in Rocketbook, but you can download free PDFs of those pages from the Rocketbook App. They are not in the Fusion, but are going to be offered for the Orbit I believe...
I enjoyed watching your video - so I'm fine with how to use the notebook, templates, etc. I have not been able to scan my work and I don't understand the destinations piece. Do you have a video on that? Thanks,
I’m glad you liked it - check out my Everything Rocketbook playlist for a video about how to use the destinations with the Rocketbook App 👍
When I upload what I have written does it only do pdf or is there a way to change it to a word doc?
You should check out my videos specifically on Rocketbook Destinations and Rocketbook Transcription. You have the options of JPEG, PDF and GIF, as well as whether or not you want to include an embedded or separate text transcript made using OCR.
How do we use your referral code if we go to a different amazon page?
How does this work? Did you make a very basic video showing step by step what you do and how it works?
Amazon affiliate links work so that if you click on the link, it doesn't matter what you ultimately buy, the person who's link it is will get a small commission. So if you click a link to a Rocketbook for example, then on Amazon you search for pens and buy pens, even though the pens weren't what was linked to, the person will still get a small commission if you buy the pens. I hope that answers your question.
My first Rocketbook video shows quickly how the books work. I have a whole playlist on the Rocketbooks as well 👍
