for me the $35 stand is well worth it. i’ve been following something like this pattern for 15y, and the stand just makes it a little easier and more pleasant. I couldn’t make this kinda thing for less, i don’t have a wood shop.

What's stopping you from buying a pack of miniature notebooks from Amazon/Staples/Office Depot/Alibaba for a fraction of the price? What are you getting with this system that cannot be replaced by a cheaper, more versatile solution?

Sorry if this sounds antagonistic, but I'm trying my hardest to wrap my head around a $30/month paper-as-a-service solution.

I don't have this thing, but didn't he tell you the answer to your question? It's nicer looking and more pleasant to use than cheap cards and stands. It's a frustrating answer, because how can you rebut except say, "I don't value that," but it's at least straight-forward...
