Black Cover has a review of the new Rhodia Webnotebook. Funny name, hopefully good product:
To the touch, it feels very smooth and soft, unlike the hard, wrinkled texture of the Moleskine oil cloth. But this isn’t a soft cover - there’s slightly more give to it than the Moleskine cover (which is actually very nice for back pocket travel) but is still very much a hard cover. It’s also thicker than a Moleskine cover, which gives it more weight in comparison.
Inside, the lined pages are a nice shade of off-white, lighter than the Moleskine’s, but pleasing on the eyes. The lines are well spaced, and go right to the top and bottom of each page. There’s a little Rhodia logo in the bottom corner which is TOTALLY unnecessary, but it’s not too distracting.


I think Rhodia is just as cool really though they aren't my first choice--you can understand why they would be for someone. The reality is that there are many notebooks (Moleskine as well) that are just really fun to have and to hold and to shop for.

Not another nice notebook not for sale anywhere! You're driving me crazy.

I love the look of the Rhodia notebooks so far from what I've seen online. However, I want to get one in my hands to really compare to the moleskine. If it's cheaper I'll probably get it! :)
