Notebook Review
Dialog sent me this notebook to check out, and I still haven't gotten around to actually using it. So this is what I know from having it in hand, not a long-term test.
It uses Kinbishi paper, something that I have not seen before, and it's an extremely popular notebook. It's one of the two notebooks I'd point to as a fountain pen friendly alternative to Field Notes.

What I know so far
The Dialog Notebook was the third one on my list of Field Notes alternatives. These were sent by Dialog themselves for me to check out, I want to say about six months ago. I still haven't gotten around to actually using it.
It uses Kinbishi paper, something that I have not seen before. It is an extremely popular notebook that has become part of my feed, and that's what made me want to try it.
One of its special features is a dot grid with some markers for the midpoints. It also has page numbers at the corners.
I really wish Field Notes used more fountain pen friendly paper, like the LOCHBY pocket notebooks with Tomoe River paper, or even this Kinbishi paper in the Dialog notebook. If I had to give some memorable options, these two are phenomenal: the Dialog and the LOCHBY pocket notebooks.
