This gives instructions on how to utilize the journal to track a user’s reading. It’s reviews all of the tabs and how to make use of the functions.

Another great too provided by NetGalley - definitely going to try out Xodo because of this guide. I thought I was going to have to print the journal to use it effectively.

Very helpful & concise! I’m on my 10th book & I should have read this before I started in the very beginning! Still it is always helpful & Thank You! I thank NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for a fair & honest review.

This guide was super useful for someone like me who wasn’t familiar with Goodnotes. It explains all the tools in a simple, clear way to help track your reading. I’ve only ever logged my books and reviews on Goodreads, so I’m excited to try out this fun new method. More book stuff to enjoy—I couldn’t be happier! Thanks for creating this guide for us!

This guide was super useful for navigating the NetGalley Reading Journal. I especially liked the tips specific to the Goodnotes app.

This user guide was super helpful for learning how to use the journal! Thank you so much for this helpful tool.

This guide introduced me to an impressive feature I hadn’t come across before—and I’ll definitely be putting it to use. The thoughtful tips and clear details are much appreciated!

This Journal User Guide is very helpful information regarding how to use the journal! It is short and to the point and has an appropriate amount of detail in a format that is easy to read and absorb.

A great guide for a great feature I hadn’t heard of before but will certainly use! I appreciate the details and tips in this guide.

Fun idea for organizing/tracking reading digitally, apart from social media. I had not heard of the Xodo app for Android but will consider using this resource going forward.

Super useful guide, thank you for providing! I like having a tool that lets me organize multiple reviews since I’m often reading 3-4 books at a time.

Very easy to use and I love that there are areas dedicated to specific apps to help understand how to use the book journal. It makes it easier to find the best way to use. Navigation on the pdf is easy and straightforward.

A clear and easy to use user guide for the NetGalley Reading Journal. Very handy to read through before using the journal.

The NetGalley Reading Journal User Guide provided a lot of helpful information about their own reading journal. It also gave me some ideas about how to customize the reading journal to make it my own!

This is really helpful, I wasn't sure what I wanted to include in reviews and the prompts give me a guide and an easy way to keep track of reads. I like that I can edit on my tablet and write in it (I'm far more likely to do that than fill in an online form!)

Great user friendly guide to the Reading Journal. If you need help getting started with the journal this guide wlil be your best friend!

The Reading Journal User Guide is the frosting on the Reading Journal cake!! So informative and easy to follow.
Thank y'all, NetGalley 😆

It was nice enough for NetGallery to provide a Reading Journal, but also having a User Guide puts the cherry on top! This was like a FAQs users may have with how they can use the Reading Journal. It was also thoughtful of them to provide user guides for both iOS and Android users. I don't personally have/use reading journals, but this has made me consider maybe starting one.

Review:
The user guide is such a helpful companion to the Reading Journal! It clearly explains how to get the most out of each section, with tips that make tracking ARCs, reviews, and reading goals feel simple and stress-free. I appreciated how approachable the instructions were (whether you’re a seasoned reviewer or brand new to NetGalley) this guide makes the journal easy to jump right into.
It really helped me maximize the journal’s features and set up a system that works for me. I’ll definitely be referencing it as I continue to build better reviewing habits.
Disclosure: I received a copy of this guide through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a really helpful user guide, thank you! It is informative and helped my make use of the journal with ease. I would recommend this.
