A very handy guide to getting started with the NetGalley Reading Journal. I wouldn’t have known how to start with the Journal if it wasn’t for this easy to understand guide. I do wish it had a bit more information on how to actually edit the journal once you’ve imported it into Goodnotes - I can’t seem to get the typed edits to align with the paragraphs on the Journal pages. But it’s also quite possible that it’s just me still being a newbie to the app.

Short and Sweet guide to 2 different ways to utilize the free downloadable reading journals offered by NetGalley. Would recommend for anyone who would like a starter guide for using note taking apps in combinations with downloadable pdfs for the first time.
Great starter resources.

Useful piece of work that helps understand how to use the reading journal; I probably would never have been able to access it if it wasn't for this. The user guide shows how to use the different recommended apps as well as the general basics towards downloading and using the reading journal,.

Essential reading for use with the reading journal for 2025, will be referring back to this - really useful document

I’m looking forward to using this next year and to be more reflective about the books I choose and the books I read! Thank you for giving this guide to help out your users!

Thank you Netgalley for always providing these excellent materials. I was needing this guide to make some sense of how to effectively use a reading journal.

This little primer is a good guide on getting started with the applications needed to keep a reading journal.
It discusses multiple notetaking applications for using the NetGalley PDF, always a plus to give you some choice, and even discusses multiple platforms.
The formatting was an easy to understand tabbed interface, uncommon for a book, but good for a primer like this, especially when used on readers that do not give easy access to contents.

2025 will be the first year that I journal my readings, so I had a lot of questions about setting up my journal and how to use Goodnotes, this journal answered a lot of them. Thank you, NetGalley!

I really like the chance to have a digital journal I which I can have all the books I read in a year. I'm loving making this my own!

A clear guide on how to use the journal, which is amazing! Full or tips and tricks, it is very useful.

This user guide is an excellent resource for understanding the NetGalley Reading Journal. The app recommendations and setup tips made it easy to get started. This would be perfect for anyone looking to make the most of their reading journal!

So helpful - thank you NetGalley! Love these Christmas digital downloads to prepare for reading next year.

The user guide is a good starting point, but I'm having to look things up online a lot in order to use the journal on my desktop computer with Xodo.

Extremely helpful for this tech newbie! I'm completely new to the digital journal world, and now I'm excited to implement all the tips and tricks.

The guide is helpful for the journal that is also offered. It addresses any questions you might have on how to use it.

Thank you for this guide. It is very useful for the journal I downloaded. I hope to use the journal more frequently in 2025

The Netgalley Reading Journal user guide was a huge need to completely experience the reading journal journey. In the user-guide I found that using a reading journal is an easy task if it is explained to you in detailed format. All the possible questions are answered and done very welll.

This user guide was extremely helpful in getting me to understand how to use the user guide with an online program. Thank you NetGalley!
