Incremental reading is a software-assisted learning method that breaks down information from articles into flashcards for spaced repetition.
We make flash-cards from articles when we do incremental reading.

Instead of a linear reading of articles one at a time, the method works by keeping a large list of electronic articles or books (often dozens or hundreds) and reading parts of several articles in each session.

During reading, key points of articles are broken up into flashcards, which are then learned and reviewed over an extended period with the help of a spaced repetition algorithm.

When reading an electronic article, the user extracts the most important parts (similar to underlining or highlighting a paper article) and gradually distills them into flashcards.

With time and reviews, articles are supposed to be gradually converted into extracts and extracts into flashcards. Hence, incremental reading is a method of breaking down information from electronic articles into sets of flashcards.

Contrary to extracts, flashcards are reviewed with active recall.
The Zettelkasten method is also a way to break down articles into highlights, then those highlights into notes.
The repeating part is missing, since the Zettelkasten prioritizes accidental discovery instead of repeating something.
In my mind, the Zettelkasten is better, because I like to lazy-load information, instead of remembering.
