I'm using the larger size, the roughly 5x4" ones. Some poking around on the net revealed that the ones sold as "sketchbooks" have thicker paper than the rest; a common complaint for the other kinds seems to be "my Really Cool Fetishy Pen bleeds through to the other side of the page all the time", and the solution is "get the sketchbooks".
Really, it's pretty nice, except for the fetish factor, and the lack of texture on the paper! If I found something similar, it might be my next pocket sketchbook. We'll see how the 'indestructable' part holds up; I've seen more than a few photos of Moleskines held together with lots of duct tape, in poking through Moleskine fetish sites.
5x4 is the Mini Sketchbook size for me. I've been using it in tandem with the 8x11 books for a few years - sometimes I just don't want to carry the big one, you know?
