The secret is that you mail the notebooks back to them and they digitize the contents for you.

I avoid writing stuff in my notebook that I know I need to find in the future. I put into in an email and search it via Google search. Drawings and sketches are different categories. I would scan then and attached it to an email. The message of the email would provide context.
I think what Mod is providing is only half of the solution. At the moment, it is the same as "only to forget them forever when I leave it in a dusty box somewhere", only digitally. For me at least.
I personally don't really have a use for the service. A document scanner allows me to use whatever paper I want and scan whatever I want.
It is an interesting idea though if there is a market for this type of service.
I was trying to think of a way to embed a scanner into the front cover of a notebook (with replaceable pages) but it just didn't seem practical, a flatbed or feed scanner works about as good as you're going to get.
Plus, these days you can just take a picture with your phone and be done with it. I do that for whiteboards for content I want to save before erasing them.
Of course, this might be way more trouble than most people are willing to go through.
