Digital Reading Journal

Made for people who keep their books on an iPad, this journal has nothing to print. Open the Index tab and you see 4 pages of numbered books, 25 on each. Write a title beside a number, then tap it: Book 7 opens the page for book 7. Four buttons across the top let you skip to any quarter of the list. Every book page asks for title, author, started, finished, pages, format and stars, and leaves three writing areas, the last one for Lines worth keeping. Back to index, Previous book and Next book run along the top. A To read tab has 2 pages of 24 lines. In total it is 107 pages, with no dates printed.

How it works

  1. Three tablet screens labeled Index: tap Book 3, Book 3 of 100 and To read list. A caption says Back to index, Previous book and Next book move through the pages.
    Index to book and back The index, a book page and the To read list. Back to index returns to the index page that lists that book.
  2. Tablet showing Book 3 of 100 with Back to index, Previous book and Next book buttons, fields for title to rating, and sample blue text about a made-up book.
    One page for each book Book 3 of 100 with fields for title, author, dates, pages, format and rating, and three writing areas. Blue text is a sample.
  3. Tablet showing Index: books 1 to 25, with four jump buttons at the top and numbered rows Book 1 to Book 25. Five rows have sample titles in blue.
    Four index pages Books 1 to 25 on the first index page, with a line beside each number for the title and four jump buttons along the top.
  4. Four labeled thumbnails: Cover, 4 index pages, 100 book pages and 2 To read pages. A caption gives the screen size as 834 x 1194 pt, portrait.
    What is in the file The cover, 4 index pages, 100 book pages and 2 To read pages, with the Index and To read tabs along the top.
  5. Tablet showing a blank Book 1 of 100 page, with a note that a script opened every link with two PDF libraries and that a GoodNotes test on a real tablet is not recorded.
    How the links were tested A script compared each button's label with the page it opens. The panel says a test in GoodNotes on a tablet is not recorded yet.

Questions

Can I print it?

It is shaped for a tablet, so it prints scaled down with white margins. The printable reading journals in this shop are made for paper.

What happens after book 100?

Next book stops at 100. Your note app may let you import the file again as a new notebook.

Do I have to fill the books in order?

No. Any number opens its own page.

Does it have dates printed?

No. You write the start and finish dates on each book page.

Digital files cannot be returned once downloaded; if a file does not open or a link is broken, send a message through Etsy. License: for your personal use only. No resale or sharing of this file. AI helped write the listing text, the how-to text and the code that builds this file. Scripts tested: all links in the file (each button's label compared with the page it opens, in two PDF libraries), that each of the 100 books is linked from the index and links back, that every page can be reached from page 1, button sizes and text overflow. No person is claimed to have checked it unless stated here.
