The system described here is in many ways similar to Incremental Reading [1], which also uses an algorithm to schedule when to read the URLs provided. (the Anki addon is fairly primitive though, would rather use a browser plugin that remembers how much I read from each webpage instead)

Also worth paying attention when reviewing flashcards, as described in [2]:

  And when I rush through my flashcard reviews, I’m not thinking. I’m focusing on the wrong question: “Do I remember this perfectly?”
  Instead, whether I happen to have perfect recall or not, I should focus on: “This is my time to think about this again.”
  Major paradigm shift.

Have you found any good tools other than Anki for Incremental Reading?


Supermemo has the best implementation of incremental reading and somewhat pioneered it. It's only downside is it's heavily tied into windows. [1]

Not yet, there is a project here that is worth keeping an eye on though: https://github.com/burtonator/polar-bookshelf
