Key features & specs

How it compares

Compared to traditional disposable paper notebooks, the Rocketbook Core offers significantly better long-term value and environmental benefits since it can be used thousands of times. While it differs from digital tablets or e-ink devices in that it requires a physical pen and lacks a backlight, it is far more affordable and provides a more natural writing experience than a glass screen.

How to use it

1. Write your notes or sketches on the pages using any Pilot FriXion pen or highlighter.
2. Select the destination icon at the bottom of the page to choose where your scan should be sent.
3. Use the free Rocketbook app to scan the page; the app instantly crops and enhances the image for digital storage.
4. Review your transcribed text or digitized images in your chosen cloud service.
5. Wait for the ink to dry fully (about 15 seconds) before closing the book, and wipe the page clean with a damp cloth when you are ready for a fresh start.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Rocketbook Core worth it?

Yes, the Rocketbook Core is worth it because it replaces hundreds of traditional notebooks and streamlines digital organization for one flat price. It is a cost-effective tool for anyone who writes daily.

Does the Rocketbook Core work for left-handed writers?

The Rocketbook Core works for lefties as long as you allow the Pilot FriXion ink 15 seconds to dry before moving your hand over the text. Smudging is easily avoided with a slight adjustment in writing posture.

How does the Rocketbook Core compare to e-ink tablets?

The Rocketbook Core is a more tactile, battery-free alternative to e-ink tablets that costs a fraction of the price. It is ideal for those who want to avoid screen glare and charging cables.

Can you use any pen with the Rocketbook Core?

No, you must use Pilot FriXion pens to ensure the ink is erasable and doesn't damage the synthetic paper surface. Using standard ballpoints or permanent markers will render the pages non-reusable.
