I call these "configurable notebooks."

 

When I used this phrase with a coworker he got it immediately.

oooh, great! I think I'll use that too :-) Thanks for letting me know about the coworker knowing what you meant - that helps! Unless of course you guys are in the stationery/office supplies business

 

The problem pages with multiple holes for ring binders, or indentations for disk binders, is that it multiply the possible failure of one of more of them.

 

This make the page(s) unusable or forces one to run for the reinforcing circles or strips.

 

While this is probably not a problem if the pages are seldom moved like in a ink, daily, quote or poem journal...

It might turn out to become one, for school or other writing projects, which require moving pages in and out of binders quite often.

 

I used many multi rings binders in many sizes and this problem has led me to favor U.S 3 rings binders in letter and half letter size.

 

For smaller capacity and portability, I use 3 hole punched pocket folders which hold roughly the same number of page as the product described in the thread and can also hold page protectors.

 

I hold the pages with brads and washers, which can be found in brass in office stores, and in various colors, in the scrapbooking department.

 

 

I completely understand the fascination with office supply things. I did click the link and looked at the product numerous pictures after all.

But if you use brads, doesn't that crease the pages along the length when you turn them? Unless that's not a problem for you?

I just discovered this notebook that does not have rings but allows for easily adding and removing paper. It's a new take on an old system, which, I think, is called a springback. This new version is by Sorta books and are 8.5 by 6.25 inches. So, I could fold or cut my own paper to fit. I've ordered one but the company is just one guy, so he’s a bit behind in filling orders since the book got mentioned on Lifehacker!

 

I found it last week on Lifehacker One of the comments to the Lifehacker article linked to springback binders available from Leuchtturm. But they are for roughly 8.5×11 inch paper. That’s too large for what I want.
