This isn't cheaper than Amazon... Am I missing something?

SobriquetAre you looking at the A5 webnotebooks? I only see 1 A5 option on Amazon and it's $30. The rest are A6 size.

thexquietxlifeWhile the Rhodiarama's aren't really available on Amazon, the ordinary A5 webbies are available for $20.69 (and no shipping as a Prime member).

I don't recall Rhodiarama's being priced any differently from the ordinary Webbies when they are available ...
ETA - Personally I'm not bothered about cover colour enough to pay the extra ... (plus, dot grid!)

robert.harrisI admittedly care way too much about notebooks, so I have done some research.
So far I've only managed to find the complete line of these A5 Rhodiarama webbies on one US website (Indy-Pen-Dance), and they charge $27. They also stock the normal webbies for $22.50.
Another website (Jenni Bick) that carries the smaller A6 size Rhodiarama webbies charges $18 for them and $16 for the normal A6 webbies, and European Paper charges $18.50 for the Rhodiarama A6 and $15.25 for the normal A6.
So it looks like these ones do typically cost more than the normal ones.
It does seem a bit silly to me that Rhodia would include black and orange in the Rhodiarama line and charge more for them when you could just get a normal webbie in black or orange for less money with more ruling options.
But anyway, if you just want awesome paper (and dot grid! I'd so love to see these in dot grid) and don't care what color the cover is, Amazon is probably your best bet. However, if, like me, you are unnaturally obsessed with notebooks that have colored covers and love Rhodia paper, then this is a good deal. :)

thexquietxlifeThanks, @thexquietxlife, for checking on this.
As you and others have said, it really depends on whether cover color matters to you. This is a good deal if the variety offered through the Rhodiarama series is important to you.
If you just want a solid Rhodia Webnotebook, better prices and/or faster shipping can be found elsewhere when compared to this drop. Also, MD periodically offers the regular Rhodia Webnotebooks (in a variety of paper styles) in a separate drop and at a price that beats most or all other online retailers (assuming the usual Massdrop caveats).
Cheers.
