Common questions

Which EPUB files work?

DRM-free EPUBs — the kind from Project Gutenberg, Standard Ebooks, or a publisher who sells unlocked files. DRM-locked files can’t be opened; use a DRM-free copy instead.

How does an ebook become flashcards?

Each passage you highlighted in the ebook becomes one card — the highlight on the front, the book title and author on the back so you remember where it came from.

Where does the deck name come from?

From the book’s title if the EPUB carries one, otherwise the filename. Rename the file before uploading if you want a cleaner fallback name in Anki.

Can I keep using EPUB and Kindle highlights together?

Yes. Convert an EPUB for the passages you highlighted in a DRM-free book, and upload a Kindle My Clippings.txt for the highlights you marked on a Kindle. Both produce a deck you study in Anki.
