Automatically generates Anki decks from many sources

AnkiMaker

AnkiMaker lets you automatically create Anki Decks out of your Kindle vocabulary lists and the OED.

How to use it

• The Vocabulary Builder's list of your Kindle is under [Your Kindle filesystem]/system/vocabulary/vocab.db.
• Get credentials for the OED's API. Go here and create a Free account. This will grant you 3000 word lookups a month, which is probably enough (and if it isn't you can just make another account). Then click on Credentials and open None's app. This will show you your Application ID and your Application Keys
