For artists and writers looking for a tool to bridge the gap between the analog and digital worlds, the Moleskine Evernote Smart Notebook is here to help. The iconic notebook maker Moleskine has teamed up with Evernote, makers of the smartphone app Evernote, to create the Moleskine Evernote, a smart notebook that allows you to transfer offline doodles and notes to your smartphone, tablet or computer.
Just use Evernote's Page Camera feature on its app, which you get three months access to upon purchase of the Moleskine Evernote, to snap pictures of the contents you wish to make digital. According to Evernote, the smart notebooks are designed with Evernote's 'ruled' page style to ensure clean images. What's more, the Moleskine Evernote comes with Smart Stickers that work like online tags. Just put a sticker on a particular page to 'tag' it, and when you take a photo of the page with Evernote's Page Camera, those 'tags' become searchable, just like virtual tags. Thus, not only can you sync your offline and online work, you can also organize your notes and drawings in an easy way.
