I'm excited to share the first release of pbAnki, a native Anki flashcard application for PocketBook e-readers!
What is it?
pbAnki brings Anki's spaced repetition flashcard system to your PocketBook device. Study your flashcard decks directly on your e-reader without needing to sync through third-party services or deal with slow web interfaces.
Key Features:
• Full Anki collection compatibility - Uses official Anki rslib backend
• Browse deck hierarchies with expand/collapse
• Study cards with proper scheduling
• Four rating options (Again/Hard/Good/Easy) with interval preview
• Real-time deck count updates (new/learning/due cards)
• Type-in answer support for cards with [[type:Field]]
• E-ink optimized UI
Current Limitations:
This is an alpha release with some missing features:
• No AnkiWeb sync (must transfer collection files manually)
• No image rendering yet
• No MathJax/LaTeX support
• Basic UI (functional but minimal)
Installation:
1. Download pbanki.app from the release
2. Copy to: /mnt/ext1/applications/pbanki.app
3. Create folder: /mnt/ext1/applications/pbanki/collection/
4. Copy your collection.anki2 and collection.media/ folder there
5. Launch from Applications menu
Tested On:
• PocketBook Inkpad 3 (SDK 6.8)
