You can also convert notes into text, SVG files, PDFs or image files. The app will autosync with Evernote, or you can share to Google Drive, Apple's Notes app, email and more. A fairly robust editing tool lets you add color to your scribbles and adjust the thickness of your writing before sharing them with others.

You can flip through your notebook page by page and use a tagging system to organize digital notes. If you have the app open while you write, you can see it transfer to the app almost immediately, which is kind of surreal. The app syncs to the pen over Bluetooth and collects everything that you have written in the Paper Tablet. AppĪt the moment, the free M+ Notes app works only on iOS devices (opens in new tab), though Moleskine promises that an Android version is on the way. I found a box of 10 Zebra ink refills (opens in new tab) on Amazon - the same ones that come with the pen - for $9.99, but any 0.7-millimeter ballpoint-pen refill should do the trick. Moleskine doesn't sell refills directly, and didn't share any plans to do so in the future. The pen is bundled with two black ink cartridges - one preinstalled and a replacement for when the first runs dry. The company makes journals using Livescribe's proprietary paper for the same $29.95 price, which gives you access to Livescribe's other pads, sticky notes and more. If you're looking into the Smart Writing Set exclusively to use Moleskine's notebooks, you have more choice than you think.
