Excellent extension for impress

I've been using this extension for impress for a while now for my kanji compound memorisation practice and it has helped me significantly. Although it will initially take a while to create all your cards, it is worth it in terms of how much it will help you.
The only downside is that I'm getting about 300+ cards to review each day with the long term option, however, that only means I'll remember more in the long run (Which isn't entirely a bad thing at all! :) ).
I fully recommend this to anyone who is currently using a pen & paper method for flashcards.
