as a first time digital book journaller, i really appreciated this user-friendly guide, that covers all faqs and set-up instructions!! i'd definitely recommend to someone starting any digital book journal and cannot wait to get started. thank you it netgalley for providing both the user guide and the journal for no cost to users!!

Great, it was a big help with the reading journal. This will be my second year completing the journal.

Helpful reading journal user guide! Check the PDF reader/editor you want to use, though - the free recommendation in the book for Windows (Xoxo) now charges.

A useful companion to the reading journal and give some extra assistance, specifically when setting up the journal.

Would recommend if you have any questions or problems with the journal

Thank you for the included tips! I'm going to try using this with xodo as suggested, I'm excited! I also appreciate the freebie stickers. I've never used a digital book journal before so this is super helpful.

This is so helpful! I knew I wanted to use the journal but had quite a few questions about how to make it work for me and this guide more than covers everything I need to know. Thank you, NetGalley!

Very helpful. I was able to find Good Notes and start using the journal for 2025. I love the new colors and hope to match my pen colors throughout the year. Thanks for this.

A comprehensive overview of the journal’s features, with clear and straightforward instructions on how to download and make the most of it.

This was very helpful and informative for the reading journal. This made downloading and uploading to my iPad to use very simple. Thank you!

Incredibly helpful guide for the reading journal! I’m excited to dive into the journal and use it for my reading journey this year.

It's very clear and concise. I would have appreciated a note on how to add the bonus pages, but aside from that it cleared my doubts.

This user guide was more than helpful and easy to understand. Its explains the basics, gives you added tips and additional sources if more information is needed. Thank you!
If you are looking into starting a reading journal NetGalley's is a perfect start.

This is really helpful for figuring out how to set up and use the digital reading journal. Thanks to NetGalley

Appreciate that a guide to the journal was offered as I think that the journal itself is a bit of a learning curve.

Very helpful user guide for NetGalley’s great reading journal to help set it up and use it. Looking forward to using this every day for my charting reading. Thank you NetGalley.

I'm trying it out on Goodnotes on my laptop, but I plan to get an iPad soon which I'm hoping will allow me to add a little more personality to it as I read new books this year. Thanks for creating and sharing this free resource. Excited to journal more about my reading vs. doomscrolling bookish apps.

This is cute but I never was able to figure out how to use it
that’s totally on me, and is not due to anything with the formatting.
I can see how others would love this tool and I may try next year!

Very helpful, I look forward to starting to journal for 2025. Can’t wait to see all my reading in one spot!

Helpful and informative guide to using the reading journal. I just wish it didn't have to be downloaded as a pdf and added to my list of books to review as it don't feel I should have to review something designed to be an instruction manual for the reading journal.

Great guide, really useful guide to the Reading Journal. Lovely that its available to everyone as well
