Great info on how to use the NetGalley journal. It was full of ways to make tracking reading/listening selection from NetGalley easier.

Though I personally won't be using the reading journal, I thought this user guide was informative. Helpful tool for those who use the reading journal provided by NetGalley.

I am a new member at NetGalley so this user guide was great to get some more tips on how to write better reviews and how to update my profile! Also the DNF guide was a big help.

Thanks for this guide. I typically only use real journals but have been intrigued by digital ones for a while. I'm excited to have a play with this.

The Reading Journal User Guide was extremely helpful in helping me set up my new reading journal. From basic instructions to tips and tricks, the use guide answered all of my questions.

Very useful info about the reading journal! I'm not sure how often I'll be using the journal, but this will at least help me to set it up :)

This is a great helpful guide for those using the Netgalley Reading Journal. The reading journal is a great option to use for digital reading journal tracking with an iPad and Apple Pencil.

Thank you for this! I needed help with figuring out the stickers part. I don't use all parts of the reading journal, but I like having the option and it's great for creating content for my bookstagram.

Such a great idea, but as I have never used a digital journal before, I am really struggling to get to grips with it even though I class myself as tech savvy! I use a Samsung tablet and even downloading the users guide hasn't helped as it's not working as I expect it to. For example, I downloaded the stickers but can't seem to export/upload to the journal, I know like everything, the more you use it the more you'll get out of it but in this instance I think I will stick with pen and paper.

I had no idea there was a user guide to go along with the reading journal, but I'm happy there is! This simple yet comprehensive guide resolved a lot of the questions I had about using the journal.
The app suggestions and explanations for how to use them were very helpful! I tried out one of the apps and I'm so happy I can easily edit the reading journal and track my reads now!

Thank you to NetGalley and We Are Bookish for creating this!

Thank you! This reading journal guide has been most helpful! I am a digital journal newbie and I had so many questions! I didn't even know what device would work best. I was completely in the dark. This reading guide helped me with everything. I mean, literally EVERYTHING! It is so helpful and it included all devices so no matter what I used, I had a guide for it. The FAQ section was extremely helpful as well. So many of my questions were answered there. When I first downloaded the reading journal, I was a little scared to start it because I had no idea where to even begin. It was all so new. I didn't know what to do with a PDF or how to customize one. I was excited but I felt in over my head. This guide is perfect at helping me. Now I'm ready to jump in to digi journals!! :D Thank you for making the reading journal and this excellent guide for us to use. I can't wait to get started.

The user guide was great for figuring out how to use the Reading Journal. Sadly, my iOS is not updated enough to use the apps needed for the reading guide, too old.

Thank you for providing easy to use instructions for accessing the reading journal. Though I was unable to use the journal via my phone (too small and difficult to navigate) I’m hoping that I will be able to access it when I invest in a tablet.

This is a really helpful guide if you are planning to use NetGalleys reading journal.

I had never used Goodnotes before, but with the step by step guidance I was able to add the journal into a Goodnotes notebook with no problems. I even managed to download the cute sticker packs provided by NetGalley to my journal! The guide also covers some quick tips on duplicating pages and adding images which is great for adding book covers to make your journal look nicer.

It will probably take me some time to figure out how I want to use and personalise my new journal but I’m off to a great start thanks to this guide.

When I downloaded the Reading Journal I really didn't know what to do with it, so this guide came in real handy. It's very easy to follow and I'm looking forward to be editing the reading journal while using this guide to see my progress of 2024 so far.
