Filter by how many times you looked a word up
Keep only the words you looked up at least two, three, five or ten times.
Your Kindle records every lookup, not only the first one. A word you translated five times is a word you keep forgetting, and that is the one worth a card.
The filters now carry a “Looked up at least N times” threshold, with the number of matching rows next to each value. The table gained a “Lookups” column, so you can see what the filter did instead of inferring it from a shorter list.
The count is per word, so the threshold behaves the same whether each word is one card or every lookup gets its own.
Filter by frequency and CEFR level
Narrow the list to words at a given CEFR level, or as common (or as rare) as you choose.
Not every word your Kindle collected is worth a card: some are already familiar, and some are too obscure to be a priority. Two new filters, “How common the word is” and “CEFR level”, let you narrow the table to exactly the range you want to learn next.
Both come from wordlists bundled with the page — nothing is looked up online. A row that is missing from either list stays in the table, marked “Not in the wordlist”, instead of quietly disappearing.
The export button moved up
The export button now sits right next to the word table, instead of below the whole list.
Exporting used to mean scrolling past every row first. The button now sits next to the table, where the selection is made, so exporting a long list no longer takes an extra trip to the bottom of the page.
Book2Deck is open
The site and the importer are live at book2deck.com — read your Kindle, review the words and export them to Anki.
You can now connect a Kindle over USB, or open a
vocab.dbfile by hand, and see the words your device saved while you were reading. Review them, drop the ones you already know, and export the rest as a CSV file ready for Anki.Everything happens in the browser tab. Nothing about your reading is uploaded anywhere, and the Kindle is only ever read, never changed.
