I tend not to digitise other than scanning the occasional opening for future reference and I agree with the sentiments expressed in the parent post. However I must disagree about specific brands... "Moleskine is losing market share to companies like Leuchtterm because the quality of their products (especially the paper) has been in steady decline." UK: Leuchtterm notebooks cost an arm and a leg here as do Rhodia. Generic A5 sketch books in arts supply shops cost around £5 for 80 sheets of acid free 100 g/m^2 paper signature bound in boards or £2 for stapled 20 sheet booklets with cardboard covers. Not as trendy as Moleskines but very serviceable and pen-proof - you can even paint in them (by design).
