I just got my order of Moleskine Soft Cover books from Amazon.co.uk and I wanted to share some images and first impressions.

Generally the soft Moles are pretty similar compared to the hardcover ones. The paper (as far as I can tell before having used them) is exactly the same, just that they only have 192 pages. The expandable inner pocket luckily also is the one of the hardcover Moles and not
the (IMHO pretty unusable one) of the 18 month planers. The cover looks and feels exactly like the ones of the 18 month weekly planers, and also the general feel is pretty much the same.

Altogether my first impression is very positive and I'm looking forward to being able to use them, especially the new extra large version. I've been using the large Cahiers before, but never liked neither their paper (scatchy on the backside) nor their cardboard cover.
