I fully admit that having a sketchbook with a magnetic spine, and pages that are edged with a stripe of magnetic ink, is overkill. But when you see how easily Rekonect's "new generation of notebooks" works, it is hard not to instantly want one:

The faux-leather-wrapped tomes come with a Moleskine-like elastic band. Branded as notebooks, at 5.5" x 8.125" they're admittedly a bit small for a proper sketchbook.

The pages can be had in blank, dotted, lined or graphed. And of course, being so easily removable, you can mix and match.

I would be paranoid about having it next to my electronics/ picking up all the metal chips in my bag/ from the workshop. They literally get everywhere, and months later too!! Still think its pretty Boss tho

A moleskine notebook is 15$ so this pays itself on the second refill!

Also: why not use a hollow pipe for the spine so that you can slide your pen/pencil inside?
