Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • No weird apps (besides my reader, yomichan, and Anki).
  • Just start reading, use a kindle or a e-reader website with yomichan (https://reader.ttsu.app/).
  • Also the last few hours I tried out Yomichan and ASB Player, very excited about the possibilities!
  • you can read them using textractor and then using yomichan to look things up.
  • Most of the additions to the deck were made with the Yomichan extension linked to Anki, however later on many of the words were not in Yomichan's dictionary so I had to self-edit them.

Cons

  • Btw this yomichan site seems like it’s been preceded by yomitan. I got that one instead bc it seems to be more active, just thought I’d let you know cuz yomichan is not getting any more development according to the site you sent me.
  • Most of the additions to the deck were made with the Yomichan extension linked to Anki, however later on many of the words were not in Yomichan's dictionary so I had to self-edit them.
  • I currently use Yomichan with a Korean dictionary for pop-up words! Sometimes it struggles with irregular conjugation and verb -> noun sometimes, but it's mostly good.

Books were the hardest to get through, but Yomichan was a lifesaver.
