Digital Reading Journal for GoodNotes, Hyperlinked Index of 100 Book Pages on iPad

A reading journal for a tablet and a PDF note app, with nothing to print. An index of 100 numbered books links to a page for each book, and each page links back.

The index runs over 4 pages, 25 books on each. Tap Book 7 and you are on the page for book 7. Write the title on the line beside the number so you can find it later. Buttons at the top of the index jump to 1 to 25, 26 to 50, 51 to 75 and 76 to 100.

Each book page has title, author, started, finished, pages, paper, ebook or audio, and five stars. Below that: What it was about, What I thought and Lines worth keeping. At the top, Back to index returns to the index page that lists that book, and Previous book and Next book move one at a time.

The To read tab opens two pages of 24 lines each. It is 107 pages in one file: cover, 4 index pages, 100 book pages and 2 To read pages.

HOW THIS WAS MADE
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.

COMPATIBILITY
Tablet PDF with explicit page links, made for PDF note apps such as GoodNotes. Page size 834 x 1194 pt, portrait. A script opened every link in the final PDF with two PDF libraries (pikepdf and PDFium). Opening this file in GoodNotes or another note app on a real tablet has not been recorded yet. Other note apps can open the same PDF, but links behave differently from app to app.

QUESTIONS AND HOW-TO
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.

Importing this PDF into GoodNotes

Save the PDF to the Files app on your iPad first. If the Etsy app won't download it, use Etsy in the Safari browser.

In GoodNotes, open the Documents tab, tap the + button and choose Import.

Find the PDF in Files and tap it. It opens as a new notebook.

Tap a tab or a date to follow its link. If your pen writes on the page instead, turn on Read Only mode from the pen icon at the top, tap the link, then turn it off.

Other note apps can open the same PDF, but links behave differently from app to app.
