I'm not sure what the point of this is. I scan scan pages of my notebooks and make comparable quality, multi-page PDFs using Google Drive, plus keep a hard copy in a notebook that costs $0.25. Not sure why I'd spend $28 on some gimmick.

ibnalfreakThe Rocketbooks are erasable/reusable and you can set tags on the pages to upload to a variety of storage places with a single app. But you're limited to the Frixion pens (which are on their own erasable on any paper) and can only leave them on the page for so long (a few weeks) before there's a risk of ghosting.
Does it offer anything you couldn't do with a notebook and Drive? No, not really other than the reusable part. For me, the appeal is that I prefer a pen and paper for quick notes while I'm working. This allows me to reduce clutter for paper I wouldn't normally archive while allowing me to keep digital backups of things if I care to.
There's a bit of hype involved here for sure. But if it fits your use case, and you'd reuse enough to justify the expense vs traditional notepads/notebooks, they work very well.

ibnalfreaknot a gimmick, I used one of these for a couple years before i got my surface pro 6 and absolutely loved it. Completely changed my organizational skills at the time.

ibnalfreakI've been super happy with this too. I'm a big list maker and planner and was killing too many trees. Also will never again need to buy daily planners or a calendar or a weekly planner or new notebooks to take meeting notes. I would endlessly take notes from a meeting and then lose them, and I can't carry my laptop everywhere with me.
I templated a calendar, weekly, monthly template, templates for my two different jobs, and have free pages in each section for notes during meetings. Scan, upload, erase, start over. my recycling and my budget should drop significantly.
