Thanks for the update. I noticed the site for the two books also now reads: "Honolulu: University of Hawai’i Press, 2008, 2012." So it looks like we won't be seeing the second book this year.

I guess I was wrong! In Anki you could download the RSH and RTH decks and merge them together (after turning on prevent duplicates for the Keyword field). Then you'd have a master list.
