What is the Montblanc Augmented Paper, how does it work and is it worth its price of 650 euros?

Montblanc Montblanc — general FAQ entry

The Augmented Paper is a leather folder with a special pen in StarWalker style and Mozart ballpoint format that transfers handwritten notes from the pad to digital text with the help of a smartphone app. The underlying technology comes from Wacom, which makes long-term software maintenance likely; the comparable Wacom Bamboo Folio costs around 100 euros but offers no high-quality leather or premium writing instrument. Workmanship and handwriting recognition of the Montblanc variant are praised, provided one writes legibly. Negatively noted are the exclusively available A5 format, the limitation to single-sided writing and the binding to the Mozart ballpoint refill. Whether the price is justified depends on the value placed on the workmanship quality.
