I use cb4960's Rikaisama Firefox Addon and Anki Plugin to add new vocabulary cards with a single button press. I have rikaisama set up to save the word, its reading, meaning, and the sentence the word was in to a single, large vocabulary deck. When I read something, any words I don't know get saved to this deck, no matter what the source. My vocab deck also has a field for an image, but I add that manually if I think it's necessary and/or helpful.
If I'm reading printed material and I come across a word I want to add, I type the entire sentence into a text box like this one and then save it the same way. It's really easy to get out of control and add more words at a time than you can handle learning, so use with caution!
So that's basically it. I read something, add anything I don't yet know to the deck, make sure I understand to the best of my ability what was written, and move on to whatever reading material comes next. The vocab gets reviewed in Anki during the normal course of things and the sentence gives enough context to help me remember where the word was used and why.
