Free Moleskine

My early encounters with Moleskine in my college days left me perplexed. It's unscrupulous to charge so much for a notebook. Quaint it is not. It's probably made of very good quality paper.

And its band made a signature entrance into the world of note taking, pressuring all the other notebook makers to have it in order to keep up with the trend. And that's about it.

And I'm left perplexed, knowing that the price is improper, because I DESIRE for it so much. It's all a marketing hype to say that owning it shows that you have come. And I'm a sucker for all things post modernist.

I once spent an hour in an artshop in bangsar just to stroll and flip through the Moleskines along the aisle. And when I'm in Borders, I make it a point to check them out, hoping that for some odd reason, they'll make it affordable for me. And all my hoping is futile.

Today, I can unquestionably afford a few Moleskines. But if I ever do buy them, I have to be prepared to see my family throwing a fit at me. And if they don't, I would myself. I can never bring myself to spend close to a hundred (in RM) on something that's easily dispensable and basic. I just can't.

And I think Moleskine read my mind because they've come up with an iPad version and I downloaded it for free. <3


I was lost for words when I saw it in the App Store, thinking that this might be a lite version. But as I began to explore it, it is as good as a physical one I can hold in my hands.


This digital version allows me to choose my text size and color. And they do come in lovely hues.


I also get the option of using the ruled line, squared or plain paper. I can draw/sketch (with my fingers) or write (by tapping with my fingers too) on them.






Plus, I get to geotag my notes and post them on my social media accounts.



And all this for FREE.



This is way cooler than the Notes app that comes with iPad. I <3 Moleskine.
