Question 1

Does erasing with the "eraser" on the back of the pen (to erase minor mistakes) damage the book's special coating?

Accepted Answer

No, erasing with the FriXion eraser under normal circumstances does not damage the pages.  Please note that using the FriXion pen eraser may leave a little bit of waxy film that should be brushed away before writing over (similar to how you brush away pencil eraser shavings). If you use the FriXion pen eraser, we suggest using it for minor corrections. Please note that repeated and intense erasure over the same area may damage the page.  To erase large amounts of ink or to clean your page, we suggest wiping your page with the moist portion of a microfiber towel and then drying it with the dry portion of the towel.

Question 2

Does the scan of the page allow for editing (like text in Word) or is it just an image of the page?

Accepted Answer

By default the scan is an image, but you can configure the app to scan to a PDF and even bundle consecutive scans into a single document.  It's configurable by destination. You would have to OCR the PDF document and then convert to your target format (Word, Excel, etc). If you visit their Kickstarter page, about three quarters down there is a link to download and print a sample page.  You might want to test it out.  I use mine every day, and so far I'm thrilled with it.

Question 3

How does this notebook work for left handed people? Will I end up smearing my notes as I write?

Accepted Answer

I am left handed and it does smear if you're not careful. I found that using the 0.05 mm pen refills instead of the 0.07 mm pen it comes with helps a lot, since they put less ink on the page so it dries faster. I had to change the setting in the app from pen and ink to pencil to get a better scan of the age when using the finer point pens.

Question 4

Could you use permanent pens like sharpies in this to make a template-- then fill it in and erase it with the damp cloth? Or would everything erase?

Accepted Answer

I used a fine tip sharpie to make a template with lines and check boxes, and it worked perfectly. Whatever was drawn with the sharpie stays when I wipe off the frixion pen.
