RocketBook Core
-
Rocketbook makes what is essentially whiteboards in a paper notebook format. Most of the actual functionality comes from the Android/iOS application.
Functions just like a normal paper and pen notebook, but you can erase the pages using a slightly damp microfiber cloth and erasable pen.
Part of that application magic are the different icons along the lower part of the page. You set a destination in the application, mark the destination you want to send the page notes to, and when you "scan" the page it automatically sends the resulting output to that destination.
Scanning the pages is about what you'd expect, point the device camera at the page. It automatically snaps a picture, converts the output to PDF or PDF and OCR before sending it onto the final destination. I've only used PDF so far, haven't tried the OCR, but all my notes are quite clear and easy to read (for my handwriting at least). Also does a great job of cropping the scan to just it's page, even when it's sitting on top of other paper.
It's also so much lighter than carrying around a larger notebook of any sort.
May or may not save you money after a reasonable amount of time, depends on how many sticky notes/notebooks you normally go through.
Looks like they have a sale going currently that will save you $6.00 of the normal $40.00 price on the Core that I have. Note: I have no affiliation, so have no financial incentive.

I looked at these a number of times and I feel like they always had compatibility issues that were just significant enough that I could never consider them.

I have a couple. Never had any issues with anything just didn't use them enough. They worked as advertised though.
