New model: Moleskine Reporter Notebooks

Moleskine Reporter Notebooks, MoleskineUS

Drool. Spanking new Moleskine reporter notebooks look really nice. Can’t wait to pick one up for myself.

Looks like they’re very similar to the old-school classic Moleskine, but with the flippable top-binding and a vertically-oriented accordion pocket. The immediate improvement I can see would be for writing in cramped places—like the top of your thigh while riding the bus. I wonder if the binding allows it to flip over completely without damaging the spine.

Anxious to hear what other folks think of these. Anyone tried them yet?

Forget Moleskines. What you...

Forget Moleskines. What you need is a waterproof notebook so you can write in the shower. I picked up one at

http://www.duluthtrading.com/items/91581.asp

for three bucks (plus shipping, of course, which dwarfed that since it was the only item), and it’s amazing. I wrote notes on it with a ballpoint, ran the faucet over the open page for a while, wrote some more, faucet some more, tried to smear it, nothing.
