Damn, I read this wrong. I thought this was a "LightScribe" pen, that lets you hand draw on LightScribe discs.

Lol, do those even exist?

 

[onza]

can you edit the OP with price + end cost?

 

[zerogear]

Problem is there is tax, and two different models, so the end cost is really different for everyone.

Does anyone know where you can get a deal on the special notebooks these require?

As an alternative for note taking, does anyone have a recommendation for a "plain" digital pen (one that doesn't capture voice)? Ideal would be one that is stand-alone, not too bulky, does a good job of recording and preferably doesn't require special paper). Writing => text conversion would be nice, but not critical, since I don't think there is hardware or software on the planet that could reliably translate the chicken-scratches of the intended recipient ...

What about the IO Gear GPEN200N Mobile Digital Scribe? Seems to be able to do all the things you inquire about.
