Portable writing pad
A notebook is a book of blank or ruled pages for writing notes.
Students carry notebooks to class; writers keep notebooks of ideas.
The term extends to portable computers small enough to carry like a book: She pulled out her notebook and started typing.
A notebook can also be a digital document for organizing notes or code.
