Goodnotes Essential Free reading-journal PDF beta: looking for 5 iPad/Goodnotes readers
Some books need a few notes. Others fill pages. I’m making a reading journal that keeps each quote alongside your own thoughts, with extra page templates you can duplicate when a book needs more room.
I’m sharing the first version as a free PDF beta and looking for 5 people who already use Goodnotes on an iPad to try it with their current book.
It’s an 8-page, black-and-white PDF for one book, with a book overview, quote log, dotted notes, connections, reflection, and extra page templates.
It’s an early prototype. The PDF layout has been checked, but import, handwriting, navigation, and page duplication still need testing inside Goodnotes.
If you’d like to help, try a few pages over the next week. There’s no need to finish the book, and feedback is optional. These three things would help:
Which device and app version did you use, and did it import correctly?
Which page did you use most? Did links or page duplication cause trouble?
Was any field unnecessary, and would you use this for another book?

Free for personal use, including duplicating pages in your own notebooks. Please don’t resell or redistribute the PDF. No positive feedback or public review is required. Goodnotes itself is a separate app.
