Right. I was about to point out the same thing. This service already exists and they are in production (I think).

  Am I completely missing it, or does the website really give no indication of how many pages their notebooks contain?

It seems you have to use their notebook

I think the difference is that with Mod you have to use their notebooks, whereas with these guys you can send them any notebook. That makes a huge difference for me personally.

  Ok, yeah i just saw that. You can't exactly use any notebook, it looks like there are specific dimensions and brands. Personally i like the idea of not worrying about that and id rather just pay up front for the mod notebook and then mail it off when i'm ready but i could see how some people would prefer the papersync way.

    I've purchased a Mod Notebook and am waiting for it to be delivered. They launched first, so I get to compare you to them naturally. Mod Notebook Pros: -Notebook and scanning included ($25) -Only less $10 than Moleskine and includes digitization, syncing -Prepaid shipping envelope -Native Mod App to read notes -Syncs with Dropbox, OneNote, Evernote Mod Notebook Cons: -Shipping delays in the current order, still waiting after a month from unexpected high demand on their part -$5 more expensive than you guys Papersync Pros: -Cheaper ($20) -Can use any notebook Papersync Cons: -Mailing cost not included -$5 less but no notebook -No dedicated app -No apparent syncing On first impression I would splurge the extra $5 for Mod Notebooks every time. I would definitely consider you guys for old notebooks I have already used up - but I would expect the cost to be closer to $15 for future notebooks to save against Mod. Good luck!

      Thanks for the writeup! It's also worth mentioning that we send the notebook back (shipping is on us!) whereas Mod charges $10 to send your notebook back (according to the FastCo article http://goo.gl/JfD8Wr http://goo.gl/JfD8Wr). So if it's important to keep your physical notebook, be sure to consider that $10 in your decision :)
