Hi all. I've been following the SRS method for a while, using Basic Kanji books 1&2, then intermediate 1&2, and now I've finally finished them. But this only takes you to about 1100 kanji so there's still quite a few to go, but as there are no more books in the series, it seems the only thing to do is to pick up another book and follow it through only entering in to the SRS ones you haven't learnt yet.

So I thought I'd try Kanji In Context having heard good things about it and it's example sentences. I found the first kanji I hadn't studied in only lesson 2! (4 books of kanji and they don't teach you 机??) Anyway, the main positive I'd read about KIC, the example sentences, don't seem to have any in that lesson for 机. Flipping through the book, this often seems the case: there will be some kanji in a particular lesson which have no example sentence to go with them. If this is the case, how can you even trust that the ones that do have sentences are giving you all the important readings anyway? Why would they include a kanji in a lesson but then not tell you anything about it?

My question is for anyone who's used this books for SRS-ing (or at all): am I missing something? How can you ensure using this book you're picking up firstly all the kanji and secondly all the neccesary readings for that kanji? Any advice would be much appreciated!
