Beautiful, but $400 is steep for a monotasker. I'd gladly let students use these in a class, though, as an alternative to notepads.

Which probably says something about the rise of keyboards and the fall of handwriting; I get that ASCII is more useful than paper, but $400 buys a lot of luxurious pens and paper.

Produces a lot of lost pens and paper in waste bins though!

Granted I’m a huge user of fountain pens and note books already :)
