Sketchbook Binding

I've been rethinking the way I'm going to work my sketchbook. I was going to stab bind the sheets together at the end but I've found from using this binding technique that the book doesn't really open up very well and you have to force the pages to open up. What I'd like for my sketchbook I'd for it to be opened up and laid out flat, which is why I was fond of using ring bound sketchbooks. After thinking about it I've decided I'm going buy rings and use them to bind the pages.
