This user guide is great because I liked the idea of the Netgalley journal but I did not think I would use it. Now I know how to start!

5 stars!

Thanks to We Are Bookish for providing this user guide. Will have to fiddle with my app a bit more to learn how to use the stickers properly. Super thoughtful to provide this resource to users! Thank you!

This was actually pretty helpful as I struggled to figure out how to edit the reading journal at first. I didn’t know I needed to upload to a note-taking app to edit, so that was a helpful tidbit for me.

I do wish all of this information was included in the book journal instead of as a separate book, but since the reading journal was already 105 pages, I guess adding the information as a separate book made sense.

Thanks, Netgalley!

New to NetGalley, I was excited to find a user guide included with the Net Galley Reading Journal. It was super helpful—it explained which apps work best on different platforms (Goodnotes vs. Xodo) and gave tips on how to make the most of the journal and all its features. The FAQ section was handy, and it even pointed out other cool free stuff like sticker bundles! And if you still have questions, there's a direct link to the support team. Plus, the last page has links to more resources like We Are Bookish's publisher page, where you can find book club kits and NetGalley's Book Advocate Toolkit. They also mention other promos and freebies, so I'm definitely checking those out. After reading through it all, I feel much more ready to dive into my book reviewing journey!

It's an informative user guide for the NetGalley Reading Journal. I successfully downloaded the free app to run the journal, but the free annotation tools proved too challenging and time-consuming.

This guide is so helpful! I enjoyed how it is laid out and very concise. It is also very pleasing to the eye which makes it very easy to read digitally. This goes really well with the NetGalley Journal and I am so happy it is available to us!

The user guide is really informative, but I feel as if it’s absurd to not have this download attached to the actual reading journal.

As someone who makes and sells digital reading journals I always add my instructional information pages after the index with clear instructions on how to remove the pages from the journal when they are comfortable with using the journal.

I think it’s important to note to users that apps like Goodnotes are needed and there is an added subscription cost when using those.

The NetGalley Reading Journal User Guide is a great helper. I recommend reading this if you haven't used a digital magazine before. It describes everything in detail and clearly. Maybe someday I will use these tips.

Thanks to NetGalley for this guide!

Thank you for offering this guide for the reading journal! This is super helpful, without it I would not have known how to edit the journal on my phone.

This was a helpful doc - thanks! I'm glad I downloaded it. It would've been helpful if there was a description of what Goodnotes and Xodo are and the difference between them.

This is a thoroughly written helpful book but I wonder if it will be read or used.
Many buy books that are guides but never take the time to read them when they are immersed in other books.
