I would love to start learning basic French using Anki, and am therefore looking for a beginner French course which meets the following criteria:
-Must be available as an ebook or pdf, so I can copy sentences into Anki or lookup words with a pop up dictionary.
-Must be accompanied by an audiobook, featuring the dialogues.
-Dialogues must be transcribed in the book and have an English translation.
-Translations should be side by side.
-There should also be grammatical explanations.

Would you like fries with that?
Just kidding, you may want to try Hugo's French in 3 months, though it's not available as an ebook. However, you may find a soft copy if you look hard enough, if you know what I mean.

The two programs I typically use when mining content for anki are Innovative Language courses, in this case FrenchPod101 and FSI Basic Courses (though the PDFs will have some OCR errors when you copy and paste, but it's still more efficient than typing things from scratch.)

There are some really great collections of cards for French on the Anki share system. I'd recommend checking there. Also if you want dialogue you can't go wrong with subs2srs in order to get subtitles with movie audio. (You need windows however)

Thank you YnEoS. The FSI course suggestions is great, I did not know that this ancient looking pdf had copy and paste enabled.

There's also an open source French textbook that you might find helpful: Liberté by Gretchen Angelo.
