Back To School Must Have: Everlast Notebook by Rocketbook


With kids heading back-to-school it’s no question that budget is top of mind. So why not get the kids a notebook that will last forever? The Everlast notebook by Rocketbook provides a classic pen and paper experience that is built for the digital age. Although it feels like a traditional notebook, the Everlast is endlessly reusable and connected to all of your favorite cloud services.

 When you write using any pen from the Pilot Frixion line, your writing sticks to Everlast pages like regular paper. Use the Rocketbook app to scan your notes into editable documents and automatically save them to your favorite cloud services including Dropbox, Google Drive, and Evernote, to name a few.

Rocketbook allows students to document their notes and illustrations in an efficient and environmentally-friendly way, and with its reusability, Rocketbook will last a lifetime. 




The 411:



Rocketbook has come with me everywhere since receiving it. It is a spiral bound notebook that comes with a special pen where you write just like any other notebook but now you can digitally send it right to an email or cloud service of your choice with the Rocketbook app on your phone. You take a picture of the page with the app and email it where it needs to go. 


There are so many uses:

As a blogger, I use it to jot down ideas, draft a blog post, write a reviews, and write back to the 100s of emails I get every day. 

As a mom, I have used it to send my kids love notes written by me not typed out. 

As a wife, my husband needed my signature for paperwork at work the other day. I was able to email it right over to him so he could digitally place it where necessary on some benefit paperwork as well as send off a shopping list since he was getting out of work early and I was still at the pool with the kids. 

This is what my email looked like when I sent it to my husband.


So much easier than texting or typing an email on my phone.

Benefits:

The book is reusable just use a moisture rag to erase and start over.
Unlike a dry erase board the ink doesn't smear. It looks exactly like pen
Each page has 7 symbols at the bottom which means you can set each up as a destination right in the app. This is cool so whenever you check off the symbol on your page there is no reason to input an email every  time.  I have one for each of my kids, my husband, my job, myself and my Google Doc. 
The app also keeps everything organized for you in your history
The prices are really reasonable. 
Great for students who aren't quick typists. Take notes in your Everlast Notebook and send it to your cloud
No more wasting paper 

This is what the app looks like
