The user guide is great, and straightforward.

I found it a little intimidating to get started on the actual journal, which I was hoping was just PDF format but I'll give it a go!

I didn't initially realize this would require downloading additional apps, and another file, so that made getting started a little slow

The reading journal is so cute and easy to customize to how you'd want it. It does take a bit of a learning curve to try and use but thankfully with the suggested IOS app, it was easier to navigate, especially with the guide as well. I've already recommended it to friends who use NetGalley as well.

An extremely useful e-reading journal that makes tracking your reading so easy! The different formats, the monthly wrap ups, the bookworm quotes, the reading challenge suggestions all added to this so much. There is something truly so precious about netgalley a website filled with books that gives authors a chance to promote their books creating such a useful and accessible reading journal to add to the reading journey of its readers <3

I've never used a digital journal before, so this user guide was very helpful. The instructions for the app needed were clear, and the pages were arranged in a visually pleasing way. I wish there had been some information about how to use the actual journal pages, maybe with examples of the pages filled in or how we might share the pages on social media.

This user guide for the NetGalley Reading Journal was very succinct and informative. I like the smartly designed layout mirroring the actual guide. I really like the color scheme and easy-to-follow format. The tips are especially helpful. I look forward to referring back to this as I begin to use the journal.

I recently just learned about the NetGalley Reading Journal and this user guide. I have never done digital journaling but this guide is very informative and gave me tips on how to download the journal to my tablet and what app to use with my brand of tablet. Thank you!

Both the guide and journal are free and available here on NetGalley.

I had to redownload this after my PC bit the dust and now it's acting like I never submitted feedback, but I'm pretty sure I did the first time I downloaded it.

A nifty little guide that shows you how to put together a reading journal. I've never journaled my reading before (not consciously, or not without reviews at least), but I might give it a go using this guide.

The various reading trackers in this NetGalley Reading Journal are very helpful, especially for those who are like me and forget to write reviews in a timely fashion. While designed and branded for NetGalley reads, I can easily see this journal being used for tracking all books one reads. Initially I thought about printing out this reading journal, which can definitely work, but ultimately I recommend using it in digital format in order to take advantage of all the features such as navigation among sections and the ability to insert digital images of book covers of titles being reviewed.

This is a helpful little journal pdf explaing how to use the linked reading journal. I didnt need it as I've created my own over the years but could see it being useful information for someone who hasn't.

I downloaded the Reading Journal and started by printing the pages I liked. I had no idea how to use it digitally. I was delighted to learn about this guide--perhaps by next year I will have an updated tablet and will be inspired to try a digital journal!

I have just discovered the NetGalley Reading Journal, but as a complete newbie to digital journaling, I would have to do some research to figure things out. This guide saved me some time and gave me tips as to where to get more information.

This guide, as well as the journal, are available for free on NetGalley.

Was easy enough to follow. Didn't really care for the journal so I didn't read it all but it seems simple enough to follow if you need help getting started with using the reading journal.

Like many readers I am guilty of letting the books pile up and losing track the point of frustration and feeling overwhelmed. The Netgalley Reading Journal Guide is a fun and comprehensive guide to electronic journaling if you are looking for something new. Complete with goal checklists and even a “Best Of” bracket this guide and compatible journal are worth checking out.
