Our Experience

The specs of these Amazon Basics note pads caught my attention due to their dimensions - wider ruled lines suited perfectly for my research work where I often need to jot down lengthy equations and diagrams. Upon arrival, I was pleased to find that the paper is thick enough (28lb) to prevent bleed-through even when using a ballpoint pen, which is great for someone like me who tends to press down hard while writing. After testing them for several weeks, I've noticed minimal ghosting on the reverse side, making it convenient to use on both sides without hindering readability. However, one minor critique is that the paper seems slightly less smooth than what you'd find in more premium notebooks, which might cause some pens to feel a bit gritty against the surface. Overall, these note pads have proven to be an excellent balance between quality and affordability for my research needs.
