Rekonnect Magnetic Notebook

I love this notebook idea but it makes me mad! Why does it make me mad? Because I had a version of this idea myself but I wasn’t savvy enough to figure out how to put it on Kickstarter and raise over $175,000 to make it happen!

I think many of us notebook lovers have the dilemma about whether to use bound notebooks with fixed pages, vs. refillable binders. Bound notebooks are sturdy and secure, the pages stay in, and you don’t have to worry about a binding system interfering with your use of the paper– no punched holes or notches for rings. But refillable binders allow you to rearrange pages, add pages, and remove pages. So it had occurred to me that some kind of paper with a magnetic edge and a cover with a magnetic spine could solve both problems… but the Rekonnect inventors beat me to it!

Check out their video– I love the way the pages can slide along the spine, and seem to jump right into place when they are inserted. I don’t totally love the extra width added by the metal cylinder in the spine, but I guess that is needed to give the pages enough room to stay attached and still lie flat when opened.

There are still a few days to join the Kickstarter campaign before it ends on Sunday Dec. 13, 2015.

See more details on Kickstarter. I hope it becomes a huge success so I can congratulate myself on what a genius I almost was!
