Can this journal open flat?

No! But I like the way it's made, I don't care if lay flat or not, it serve the purpose for me, writing my journal.

If you mean flat like a loose leaf notebook, no. I suppose if you eased the spine into it you could force it, but it is meant to open like a book, not like a calendar, spiral or loose leaf.

Yes, but with different ease. In the front and back it opens almost completely flat. The closer you get to the middle, the more it bulges like most journals do. However, unlike most journals and sketchbooks, the bulging isn't very prominent because the spine isn't as tight, and the pages don't resist being pressed flat; the weight of your hand or the pressure of writing will be enough to hold it flat without distorting your pen stroke.

No - it's not wide enough to take a magazine (I just tried a piece of 8 1/2 x 11 paper for you which didn't fit flat without bending), and by the time you folded a newspaper or two it would be full. That said, I use it for plastic/glass recycling and love it.

I think you can use any flat object that fits. It just presses a release to pop open the cover.

Use a drawing board and large binder clips. Or I used the Drawing board on a flat surface.

if its a nice stack, yes. a single sheet may be an issue. else place it between two sheets of regular paper

It's bound and all the pages are fixed in place, but it does lay really flat when open.

Yes, it is one of the reasons I use these notebooks. As long as you get the bigger sizes (not the pocket) they lay flat.

Yes. The "legs" rotate to any position, so yes you can fold it flat and place it in a back pack, a binder, a folder or you can fold it flat and put it in a textbook like some sort of bookmark.

The diary is bound like a book and if you open it and press it flat, you will be able to write on the whole page.

No, the bottom edge of this bag is sewn closed so it does not unzip to lay flat when open.

The open position is as pictured. If you want it to be flat, simply do not open the iron legs. Jerry - The Gear Guy

Yes it is flat. Handy with the spiral binder. Might even fit in a purse, it is small.

Not completely flat, no. Usually when I first open up a new notebook, I will turn and flatten each page forward through the book and then backward to sort of "loosen" up the pages, which helps.

Hi: What do you mean flat? The book open up to each page that has 2 slots that the pictures go into. The other side also has 2 slots. Did this help you? Please let me know. Thank you

The rings for the three ring binder slide in sideways, so I imagine you could put a notebook in there instead... I'd be surprised if you could do both though.

it depends on the size of the book. the oversize one will have to lie flat.

Yes, you can open it so that it is flat with the Buddha Board portion at the top. I'm not sure about writing something permanent on the bottom half. You would probably need to buy some kind of strong mounting tape in order to get it to stay on a wall while people use it.
