This is not a bad pocket journal, and it has very good paper quality, suitable for use with good fountain pens.  However, it is marketed as doing something very specific with Evernote: allowing handwriting recognition and seamless integration of notes written in this product with other device-generated notes.  In this, it is little better than any other small notebook costing a quarter as much.  Being a small, tightly bound book, the pages do not lay flat for photographing with the device's camera, which is the means of importing into Evernote.  You must use some weight or other method for getting in-focus pictures of your pages.  This interferes with the auto-cropping and distortion-correcting function in Evernote.  Furthermore, I have been unable to detect any enhanced recognition ability referable to the use of this notebook.  The little tag stickers only work most, but not all of the time, and the page-defining ribbon does not lay flat or straight either.
