What about confidentiality and privacy?

Love it, but some of my notes are highly confidential. Obviously, I could use a separate notebook, but is there any thought towards privacy or assurance from these guys that no one is reading these notebooks when they're digitized? The video makes it look like a fairly manual process. Ordered one anyway to try it out.

Quite exactly what I thought. And even assuming they somehow managed to achieve a good/strong isolation from prying eyes/anonymization of the paper they have to handle inside their shop, there's still the fact that you're sending these notebooks through good knows what channels - one might suppose one must raised quite high suspicions so that your mail is intercepted; I wouldn't be so sure about that with recent revelations.

But even worse; mail can and a few times gets lost, be it of the electronic or physical nature. And you don't have a copy in your sent folder in this case, and you can't reorder nor have someone resend another item.

I really, really like the idea of a digitizing/digized notebook, and I do agree that something that beats paper and pen has yet to be invented (can it even?). I would however preferred a device or solution that I could set up or use at home.

This brings up some ideas.

  You are in a room that resembles an office.
  In front of you, there is a screen displaying some orange toned website with a lot of text.
  To your right, there is a shiny apple product. It might be a computer mouse.
  To your left, there is a scanner, a notebook and a pen.

You should never release highly confidential documents to unapproved entities, even if they pinky swear they won't read them. Almost certainly violates your NDA if you signed one.
