I've used every kind..., February 23, 2011
This review is from Rhodia Webnotebook - Orange - 3.5" X 5.5" - 96 Sheets - Lined - Bundle of 2
I've used every kind of Moleskine in every size, and I pretty much thought that
the Web Notebook would offer a similar experience. I'm happy to say that I like
the Web Notebook so much more.
The paper is fantastic and the cover has a bit of a cushioned feel. I'm not a
fan of using fountain pens everyday since I like to highlight things, but my
Tombow Airpress plays nicely with this notebook. Plus, it's orange.
Doesn't get much better than that!

Amazing quality, beautiful..., September 11, 2012
This review is from Rhodia Webnotebook - Black - 5.5" X 8.25" - 96 Sheets - 5 mm Dot Grid
Amazing quality, beautiful notebook! I have wanted a Rhodia Webnotebook ever
since they came out w/the lined version many years ago, but I held out for the
dot grid version....and wouldn't you know, they made one last year, and Jetpens
carries it!!!! ^_^ yayyyy!
The Webnotebooks sold by Jetpens are the "3.0 version" with 90 gsm
Clairefontaine ivory paper that accepts broad gel pens & fountain pens with NO
bleeding or feathering (you CAN write on both sides of each page!), lies flat
when open, & does NOT have the distracting Rhodia logo on the bottom corner of
every page.
And if you use the 40% off coupon, or you buy the two-pack, Jetpens actually has
the lowest price online.
If you like the "little black book" feeling of pocket Moleskines and the
"art-journally" feel of those cool black hardbound sketchbooks, PLEASE grab
yourself a Webnotebook and enter the world of grown-up journals :) because after
I unwrapped my two dotgrid Webbies from Jetpens (one black + one orange, of
course), I immediately gave away my remaining unused Moleskines and
Piccadillies, because YES, Rhodia's Webnotebook IS just...galaxies away from
those silly little Molies/Molie clones & their wafer-thin pages that
feather/bleed & their weird oily moleskine covers that smell like chemicals.
(P.s. then I came right back to Jetpens and got two of the bigger lined
Webnotebooks plus a smaller size lined notebook-and I'm sure I'll be getting a
couple blanks sometime soon).
The only reason I would ever hesitate to recommend the Webbies is if ivory paper
isn't your thing...if you prefer bright white, then you may not *love*
Webnotebooks. Jetpens has a pic of the ivory pages; if you look at the large
blank Webnotebook with the black cover, you can see that the pages are
ivory/off-white. To me, they are just lovely & it adds a little character to all
of my various colors of ink; ink purist-types may prefer absolute white pages to
experience the "true color" of their inks...to each his own!
But if you're already using a Moleskine-type journal with off-white pages, you
only *think* you're happy.... For the same price, you could upgrade to a Rhodia
Webnotebook and experience true luxury.
