Because of the same reason you uploaded the excel files/torrent in the other thread of KO2001.

Enjoy study!

And I assume you're just copying the images from the ebook into Anki, in which case you can't produce a deck without furigana.

Why? I told you that I have 4 deck 2 of which do not have furigana on the question.

I didn't post any torrents in that thread.

Coscom put out a great product and a lot of people here think we should reward them by buying their product.

Do you think that if I share my decks no one will buy their products?

They're just sentences with translations. KO2001 is more than that.

How did you make those decks? Did you edit the images individually? Because the e- book itself provides no way to get the Japanese sentences without at least some furigana as far as I'm aware. It must have sucked if you had to edit them all by hand :-(

You didn't post directly about the torrent, you just uploaded/posted about the files which can be found from the torrent. Which is the same thing in essence, so it makes sense that if the people who contributed to the KO2001 spreadsheets were annoyed by the torrent then they would also be annoyed by your post. And its also why they will be annoyed at this thread. I wasn't here when they made the spreadsheet, and I don't personally think this will have any impact on Coscom, but I can also understand why they [the people who worked on the spreadsheets] would be annoyed.

EDIT: From the other thread:

People here who own the book collaborated to collect the KO sentences over a year ago, agreeing to only show them to other people who have the books.  The spreadsheet you posted a link to was leaked by some a-hole.

That is why many people on this forum will be annoyed by you posting this- because you're essentially doing the same thing.

I'm not annoyed, as this as nothing to do with the KO sentence effort done here.  Outside of that, people can do whatever they want on their own responsibility.

This works with all the examples of the book. 'convert' is part of imagemagick. I guess there might be other ways to automatically remove the top 25 pixels of all the images.

Hey thats pretty handy. Here's hoping ahibba knew something like that and isn't kicking himself right now for wasting all that time doing it by hand

I think the community spreadsheet is probably a lot more useful though. It means you can search sentences by kanji, and gives you the freedom to highlight and change the sentences however you want (for example, I highlight the entire compound not just the target kanji. I also sometimes highlight other kanji if they're new etc etc). Of course, you have to have bought the book to get it lol.

Also do these decks have the kana as a field?

Are there any examples that appear across 2 lines?

Are you talking about the original images in the book? There are quite a few, from memory.

just out of curiosity why not have the sentences in text instead of images? Seems like it would be easier that way, allowing you to highlight your own words or easily break apart difficult sentences or isolate compounds and what not, if such a need arose.

Because unfortunately the ebook provides all Japanese text in image format (its apparently a 'feature'- so you don't require foreign language support I guess?). Thats why the community collaborated on creating a text spreadsheet of all the sentences.

ah ok I must have missed where he said ebook. I already have the spreadsheet and own the books so I don't really care that much, just seemed odd to do it that way because I like to have options.

Nooooooooooo!!!! Link is dead, can someone reupload?

*edit*
Doesn't the CD have audio? If we added audio to the decks, they would be even more awesome

It contains 3104 facts (book 1 and 2). The images without any readings are on the question side. The images with all readings and the English translation are on the answer side.

THANK YOU Now I better download this before this link dies aswell
