kindle2anki

Description

This is a Python script to help add words from Kindle to Anki.

Features

It can directly add words to Anki decks or creates a anki-ready tsv file.
Asks for card back in the terminal (optional).
Adds words from both the Vocabulary Builder and your Notes (My Clippings.txt).
Last timestamp is written to ~/.kindle. During next import only new lookups are exported. One can manipulate value written to ~/.kindle to get only needed words from Kindle.
Retrieve translations, images and sounds from LinguaLeo (from https://github.com/rampage644/kindle-to-anki)

Usage

You can my post How I transfer my vocabs from my Kindle Paperwhite to Anki

Import new words from vocabulary builder since last time, and asks for card back in the terminal. Words can be skipped (s) or you can quit at any words (q).

$ ./kindle2anki.py --kindle '/run/media/samim/Kindle/system/Vocabulary/vocab.db' \
   --collection '~/Documents/Anki/User 1/collection.anki2' --deck words --clipboard

[0%]
Word: include
Context: Your Kindle includes one or more dictionaries for each supported language.
Enter card back:[q/s]

Import new words from notes since last time, do not ask for card back (to edit later in Anki).

$ ./kindle2anki.py --src '/run/media/samim/Kindle/documents/My Clippings.txt' \
   --collection '~/Documents/Anki/User 1/collection.anki2' --deck words --no-ask
