What an invaluable guide this proved to be. It exceeded my expectations and really gave me the foundation on which to build.

I know this will be a mainstay in my reviewers toolkit and I’ll keep referring back to it time and time again.

Thank you NetGalley for this great reading journal guide. What a delightful surprise for your readers! It really breaks down the features, and how to access special perks.

This ebook is a guideline to help people to use a digital notebook. It explains two apps that you can use to edit and write in the digital journal: Goodnotes and Xodo. I thought it was a very useful resource.

Difficulty getting it downloaded so not really useable. Is there another way to get it? I have tried the instructions multiple times and it never works!

The user guide offered valuable information about where to download the reading journal for maximum usability

I’ve been mulling over various digital reading journals for purchase, all of which have been linking prompts, leading the User to User Help via YouTube video search rabbit holes. I’m extremely grateful for NetGalley’s generosity in not only providing their members an opportunity at their free digital Reading Journal but also a huge Thanks! to the content creators for putting this User Guide together for us and pushing the pdf’s to our emails. I’ve since put my Reading Journal to great use! Thanks again, so much! for providing a user guide. It has helped me greatly!!) ~m

It was nice and useful!! I really appreciate and like the idea of a reading journal by Netgalley. It also gave suggestions to for other apps to use with it.

This is definitely instructions. I do not like either of the notes apps recommended in here but it doesnt give more than one option per type of user. But once you have one of the apps and have it all logged in, the instructions are easy to follow. Thank you for providing this for those of us who are not technology savvy!

I wouldn’t say it’s super necessary to have but it pairs really well with the journal. I’ve never digitally journaled before so it was really helpful to have a bit of a guide

Neat little guide on how to use the reading journal provided by NetGalley! Helpful overview before using the journal.

I didn't realize this guide would be for use with an external app, but the idea of a Netgalley reading journal is really nice and will keep me organized.

Although I do not think this User Guide is essential to being able to use and derive value from NetGalley’s Reading Journal, I do think it is a good enhancement. For those who are unfamiliar with the concept of a digital reading journal, this user guide explains the concept and value of tracking your reading.

There is definite value in the User Guide’s discussion of note taking apps for using the Journal. I think my natural instinct (having read the Reading Journal first), would have been to simply print out the Journal pages (which is still a viable option!) or use Google Docs, but the introduction to Xodo has opened up a whole new world of digital note taking for me! This guide has everything you need to get your Reading Journal set up properly in either Xodo (Android and WIndows) or Goodnotes (iOS and macOS).

So thank you NetGalley and We Are Bookish for this awesome guide!

This was super helpful to read and helped me get everything set up. I have never used a reading journal before, so this helped me understand how to set it up and also how to use it.

Stars 5/5

This user guide is simple and answers user burning questions regarding the journal! Definitely a helpful guide with not too much information to overwhelm readers!

Was this review helpful?

This user guide definitely helped me a lot; initially, the journal itself was quite intimidating! This was informative, specific, and relevant: all the things I need a user guide to be!

I have never had a book journal before, so I was really excited to have this opportunity to start one that is digital. I'm glad that there is a user guide to help assist me with any questions I have and how to get started.
