The notebook (A6) would always bend when I tried to bring it with me unless I put it in my bag, which is tedious to bring out in short notice

    I splurged on a hardcover notebook. I like to write in bed and on-the-go so hardcover is the only option that really works for me.

    Use Pritt or a rubber band or something to fix a 3mm A6 plastic or plywood sheet to the back of the notebook?

    Or, you can buy A6 clipboards.

    I eventually just gave up and started buying expensive notebooks. The cheap ones always fell apart before I finished them, so at least this way I get to the end!

    It kind of depends on application?

    I carry a small (4”?) “field” note book for jotting things down. They fit breast pockets easily, if that gives you an idea of size.

    If it’s just personal notes, or something, those work fine, they also make medium size (“stenno” pads) that are about half the size of an A6.

    Composite notebooks are great too, though they’re not quite A6 and finding them unlined is a chore (if your note taking frequently includes sketches).

    Most not-dirt-cheap stenos will either simply tolerate bending or have enough on it that it doesn’t bend too easily.
