• What do software do you use to create flashcards when reading ebooks?

  I did find this https://getpolarized.io/ But it seems that project is dead. Source: 7 months ago

• Show HN: Lurnby, a tool for better learning, is now open source

  Https://getpolarized.io/ seems like it's in the same space - it's a product I wanted to love, but was a bit clunky to use and didn't end up sticking in my workflow. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• How do you memorize things you read?

  Don't think Anki has a fully baked implementation of incremental reading. Polar [0] is an interesting implementation of a similar concept: read and annotate and turn your highlights into Anki flashcards automatically. [0]: https://getpolarized.io. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

• Want to Remember Everything You'll Ever Learn? Surrender to This Algorithm

• How to Read Books When You Have ADHD

  “Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested; that is, some books are to be read only in parts; others to be read, but not curiously; and some few are to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention.” -- Francis Bacon Mortimer Adler's How to Read a Book provides a decent framework for dealing with the variety of books out there.

These were some of my highlights from The Little Prince. Unsurprisngly there's also a DeepL add-on for Anki for mass translations. Source: over 1 year ago

• Remove duplicate highlight entries in your "My Clippings.txt"!

  I used my yesterday's evening to create a small JS script to remove automatically more than 90% of duplicate entries (at least for me :P). As far as I know, there isn't any working script/program to do this with the latest kindles or nothing maintained anymore (if there is, tell me). Also, clippings.io doesn't do anything with their promised "deduplication", so I created this makeshift way of more or less cleanly... Source: almost 2 years ago

• Considering buying a kindle

  I was originally "anti-Kindle" (well anti-Amazon tbh) and loyal to a proper paperback/hardback book. When I had to do lots of business travel I tried a Kindle (Voyage) and I'm fully converted. It's not just having all books on one device, it's that the battery last for ages, it's fairly robust (I treat it badly - thrown in travel bag etc) and it still survives...but, the huge thing for me was Wiki, Dictionary and...

• Is there a difference between myclippings.txt on a Kindle 7th Gen and 11th Gen?

• Import to Evernote/Keep

  In the past I used clippings.io to import "My Clippings.txt" and then to export to Evernote, sadly the author went nuts and now charges in Russian gold. Source: about 2 years ago
