pbAnki - Native Anki Flashcard App for PocketBook
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)

Should work on other PocketBook models but untested. Please report your results!

Download:
GitHub: https://github.com/ananyatimalsina/pbanki
Releases: https://github.com/ananyatimalsina/pbanki/releases

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, collection.media/ and collection.media.db2 there
5. Launch from Applications menu

Note: This is alpha software. Please backup your Anki collection before use. Report bugs and feedback on GitHub.

Out of curiosity, there was a pbanki app for PocketBooks last released way back in 2012. Is this new one related to the old one, or completely separate?

Completely unrelated. The naming coincidence is pretty funny though!

I'll put up a public alpha in the course of the week. I hacked this app together during vacations and there are unfourtunately still some bugs to be addressed before a release is possible.

Would someone be kind to post a link that explains what Anki, flashcards, etc. are?

Its a sophisticated learning system using a special repetition algorithm to keep the learning content remembered.
