The guide has a straightforward set-up. It goes into detail about loading on devices and how to use. The issue I had was actually getting the journal loaded on my device so I could use it correctly. Even following all the steps exactly, the journal did not want to transfer until several attempts were made.

Thank you to We Are Bookish and Netgalley for the useful resource.

I was delighted to download a copy of the Netgalley Reading Journal. It meant I could keep all my reviews in one place and monitor my reading activity and TBR list for the year. However, the journal was not as simple to use as I initially thought.

The Netgalley Reading Journal User Guide was extremely useful in that it provided suggested programmes to use to open the journal in an editable format and gave direction on downloading tthe sticker packs, best practice for using the book, and all that you would expect from a user guide. It also set me on the path to creating my own stickers to customise my journal.

Although this book points predominantly at Netgalley with the recording of specific stats, the Reading Journal and this guide is useful for any reader reviewer that opts for a digital as opposed to a physical record of their reading.

This reading journal looks like it might be beneficial to a new reviewer who hasn't already found another way to stay organized.

Fairly straight forward instructions for downloading the Reading Journal, but the app it recommended for android use doesn't seem to exist. I downloaded the Ios one but couldn't really work it out. Probably my mpatient brain but this is not for me

Great to know and useful information. I had never heard of the apps mentioned before and have since found the Xodo app for Android very useful.

Very effective manual. Made it easy to use the journal! It was easy to read, and easy to navigate while using alongside the journal.

This wasn't really much useful tbh, because I tried using the NetGalley Reading Journal in my notes app, and it didn't work as well as I wanted to it. And installing a whole another application to use the journal feels like overdoing things tbh. I think I'd prefer using a PDF converter, and using this in the form of a Doc, or just using a PDF editor. Notes app is a definite No for me though, I gotta say.

I still really love the layout of the journal, it's cool af, and I'd have loved to have a journal like this in the form of an app or something (If I were rich enough, I'd have loved to get it printed too, but I'm too damn broke for it heheee)

This is a very useful guide for getting the reading journal set up. I enjoy using Goodnotes on my ipad so this makes it so easy!

I like this guide. It’s very helpful and it tells you what app to download based on what kind of phone you have like an iPhone or android. It helped me figure out how to edit and add things into the pdf.

I have never used a reading journal before let alone a digital one so this guide was so handy in helping a newbie figure out how to navigate doing so. There’s so much helpful information packed into this user guide and it’s so appreciated. Looking forward on getting my digital journal together so I can look back at the end of the year and see what I accomplished. Thank you!

I have plans to get my reading journal going and not have it feel like it is a part time job. I like that this gives me the tools to use in my reading journey.
Thank you NetGalley and We Are Bookish. This is my personal review.
