The pages will appear as single notes, but Evernote has a merge option to combine separate notes into a single note.

OK… I didn’t look before I took the leap. Now I understand the issue. The thing is, there is a camera in the pen. With the LiveScribe pen, you will not need to take a picture with another device to capture the image of the page. The camera in the pen captures everything. Every spec of ink, along with audio, is captured and uploaded. Also, the image is WYSIWYG. No distortion.(And no, I do not work for the company).

The requirement for the use of the LiveScribe paper shouldn’t be a deal breaker. I use their notebooks for work. One notebook lasts about 6 months. The notebooks are inexpensive. Also, you can print your own paper. The LS pen is an awesome tool. You will really enjoy the product.

I’m not wild about the (lack of) quality of Moleskine paper. But, fell in love with 2 options. Grabbed free PDF downloads from WhiteLines.se, and the free iPhone Link app. Since I pick my own paper for print outs, it loves my fountain pens! Grabbed a paper punch for Staples M Arc System, and the related $20 leather letter-size notebook. Allows me to easily move pages around. For pocket size notebooks, I got the Japanese CamiApp books from JetPens. The companion app (iPhone, Android) is equally fantastic. Unlike the Moleskine iteration, these two apps are elegant, intuitive and non-kludgy.

As regards LiveScribe, I’ve had 2 generations of that pen. Too big. I’m sooo glad there are now options! Bottom line- if you want free, head to the WhiteLines site. Otherwise, CamiApp still offers a better bargain, and much better quality paper, than Moleskine.

I tried the earlier Livescribe pen for a couple of months. I stopped using it for 3 reasons.
1) I prefer the Moleskin notebooks over the Livescribe notebooks. And, no, being able to print my own LS paper doesn’t help. It is not about needing to buy notebooks. It is about the fact that I like the Moleskin paper much better.
2) The pen came with a little cap to cover the nib. But what do you do with the cap when it is removed and you are writing. I went through about three of these. It appears that this new one has the same issue.
3) The pen nib is mediocre. I like a quality pen with an easy flow.

The synchronized recording of the audio while taking notes was nice. (Until someone in a meeting discovered I was doing this without getting permission and made a big deal of it.) In some settings this may not be an issue.

For now I will go with the Evernote version of the Moleskin notebooks.
