My issue on this one, and I emailed them a question about it on KS, is the privacy issues I see here. Before I'm going to trust sending a notebook full of private thoughts or business related content to an unknown company I need a pretty ironclad guarantee that the content is going to be handled appropriately. I love the thought of being able to refer back to my content digitally over time, but I don't dig the thought of some stranger getting their hands on my personal thoughts and being able to blackmail me with it down the road.

They said that their scanning partner is built with security/privacy in mind, but I need details before I'd just stick a private notebook in an envelope and mail it to some strangers, never to be seen again.

I don't think this product is really tailored to a privacy-conscious consumer.

Even if they're safely disposing (recycling) the books, uploading them in an encrypted manner, etc., you're still losing control of your "private thoughts."

I see it as more fitting for sketches, random thoughts, (non-crazy-private) journals, etc.
