I'd like to see the Anki manual itself turned into an Anki deck. No one has yet done this. I've not yet completed my incremental reading of that document, and I therefore lack a deck worth sharing.
One gets better results from learning before memorizing, and creating one's own deck makes a good way to understand a complex subject. That said, having an Anki deck for the Anki manual itself would make a fine set of training wheels for the bicycle, so to speak.
"Incremental reading" in the Wozinak sense? How are you doing that? (My biggest complaint with Anki is the lack of Incremental Reading capability.)
I use the IncrementalReadingExtension and ViewSizeAdjust add-ons. They work.
I can't compare them to SuperMemo, which I have not used. They do not work with AnkiDroid at all.
Jay, I've just been playing with these. They work. Technically. But the formatting all seems to be lost. It is much less pleasant to read an article grabbed from wikipedia when all the formatting and hyperlinking has been lost. Do you have a workaround for this problem that you use?
To import web content into Anki Incremental Reading go to Tools->Preferences and uncheck "Strip HTML when pasting from clipboard".
And, to import pdfs (including academic papers or ebooks), pdf2htmlEX seems to work.
Seconded. I'd love a decent incremental reading capability.
