Helpful and informative for creating and maintaining a reading journal. Having the user guide definitely streamlined the whole process.

I would have never figured out how to import stickers (let alone access the journal digitally) without this user guide. Some people might prefer more traditional journals and print out the pages, but I needed an electronic copy and am so very happy you’ve made that possible.

Thank you, NetGalley!

This user guide is essential to working through the NetGalley Reading Journal. I tried XODO as a windows user and some of the directions in this user guide didn't line up with the XODO app I downloaded. Technology changes every day so I understand.

Thanks to NetGalley for providing this guide.

The user manual is written in easy to understand language. It describes step by step what one should do - from downloading the pdf, to choosing which pc software one has , to downloading the right app for it.
So far so good. The problem I've seen was when downloading the app- for android it is Xodo. I found that the parts where I need to upload and edit the pdf are difficult and maybe not entirely compatible, as this guide is written in 2023. It took me a while to figure out how and what to do, but in the end the user manual proved to be useful.
Thank you, NetGalley!

I've had so many questions about how to even begin a reading journal and I found this to be very helpful, it made me excited to start my own! I really appreciated the suggested apps to use along with my journal! Thank you, Netgalley!

Extremely helpful guide to get started. I'm always looking for a better way to organize my books, especially my TBR, and this is one great option.

This guide made using the journal a breeze to use. Not only was the journal provided as a resource, this user guide was provided to answer all the questions I had about it. I’ve never used a reading journal like this so I benefited from the user guide so much.

Thank you NetGalley for this. It truly was helpful and straight to the point. This guide was made for you to understand and not for you to still have to learn everything on your own.

Thank you so much for this incredibly helpful user guide! As someone new to digital journaling, I really appreciated how clear and easy it was to follow. I loved learning how to upload book covers, duplicate pages, and personalize my journal with stickers. It made setting everything up feel fun and totally doable. Big thanks to the NetGalley team for making the journaling experience even better!

Helpful! I can’t wait to continue my ARC reading/ listening/ reviewing journey on NetGalley. All reviews published on Goodreads!

This was an informative guide to using Netgalley. I wish I had read it before I started my progress on this site. It is very helpful, I'd love to print it out and use it and sticker it to death, but the paper is expensive and so I'll have to go without. Thanks for offering this to the users of this site, it is really cool!

Very useful for getting started with GoodNotes and the journal. I couldn't have figured it out on my own. I'm very much enjoying the journal now that I have a device that supports it.

The NetGalley Reading Journal User Guide was a great introduction on how to use an online reading journal! I've never used one before, so I downloaded NetGalley's Reading Journal to try it out and read this guide on how to use it. I have OCD, so the guide really helped make the actual journaling process less intimidating and easier to plan out. I really recommend this guide to anyone interested in journaling books. This also includes a tutorial on how to use the reading journal in Goodnotes, which is an app I use a lot and can't wait to journal through.

This is another super helpful tool. I like how it is online and easy to navigate. Another good user guide that is well explained, laid out well and not complicated.

Guide très intéressant. Malheureusement il n’existe pas en plusieurs langues ce qui est ennuyant pour ceux qui parle pas l’anglais.
