    Alright, hi guys! I’m new here, but that’s not important. My old computer broke down and I don’t have access to Anki since I currently own a Chromebook and I was wondering if there was a way to use the Anki decks on it. I managed to figure out how to get Ankidroid on my Chromebook, but it seems the decks can’t be inserted because they’re in a different file format that isn’t accepted by Ankidroid.

    Would anyone know how to work with this? Otherwise, it would be greatly appreciated if someone pointed out which lessons/chapters have the download links so I can put it all on a regular computer before switching back to my Chromebook.

    I have a chromebook as well and have a similar problem. Ankidroid works fine for studying, but is not great at managing cards and decks. I do that type of stuff on my work computer (Windows).

    What you might want to do is find a machine that can support the full version of anki (borrow a friend’s, perhaps), install the software, import all the decks you think you will need, suspend all the cards you are not ready for yet, sync, and uninstall. You can un-suspend cards when needed from within Ankidroid.

    It’s a bit of a pain, but that’s the way it goes.
    All the Textfugu decks are available here: downloads page.
