• Clone this repository

Usage

This script utilizes AnkiConnect, make sure you have Anki running on the background before you run the script

• Plug your kindle into your computer and grab the vocab.db file from its storage by going to system/vocabulary/, or by searching for "vocab.db", and paste it in the same folder as the Kindle2Anki.py file
• Run the script
• Choose the book you want to mine from
• Choose how many cards you want the script to generate
• Wait for it to finish running

First run setup

• You'll have to install your dictionaries and frequency lists, make sure you have all of them in the same folder as the Kindle2Anki.py file
• The script is not compatible with Pitch Accent dictionaries
• The script is also not compatible with multiple-frequency frequency lists, please use one with only 1 frequency per word
• Be careful when entering your deck and card info, any mistypes will result in the script not working properly

Note that:

• Anki doesn't let you create a card with an empty first field, make sure you set your "Term" field to your note type's first field.
• This script will only create cards for japanese words
• This script will not generate any duplicate cards
• The cards are generated automatically, flaws are expected even more with kindle's shitty text parser
• This script will only try to create a card for a specific word once, if you delete a faulty card it will not be created again on the next run. As you run the script more times the amount of faulty cards is expected to diminish
