I have a 5x8 leather bound tablet that requires this size pads. I could purchase the white paper however I find that the yellow paper seems more professional and the gel ink writing is not as "loud" on yellow as it appears on white.. Additionally the paper adhered to the top of the DOES NOT come off easily. I've had pads in which the slightest pressure would cause to come lose from the top adhesive binding. I purchase a pack of 12 pads which should last me two months. Though I have a smartphone on which I can type notes or write with a stylus I still prefer the comfort of pen to paper - and this perforated note pad is what I have purchased and will continue to purchase.
