Add Asianfanfics Stories to Your Calibre Library
To add an Asianfanfics story to calibre, download it as an EPUB with WP Downloader and import the file into your calibre library. You can then organize, read, convert, or transfer it like any other e-book. Both WP Downloader and calibre are free, and WP Downloader runs in your browser.
Download the Asianfanfics story as an EPUB
Find the story on asianfanfics.com. Its address should look like this:
https://www.asianfanfics.com/story/view/123456 Copy the full address and open the Asianfanfics downloader. Paste the link into the box. WP Downloader will detect the site.
Choose EPUB as the output format. EPUB downloads are free and can be added directly to calibre. To keep pictures from the story, select the option to include images before downloading.
You do not need to sign in to Asianfanfics. WP Downloader downloads the complete story, not an individual chapter or a list of stories. Its support for Asianfanfics was ported from FanFicFare, the open-source fanfiction downloader.
See the Asianfanfics download guide for more help with downloading the file.
Add the EPUB to your calibre library
calibre is a free e-book manager for Windows, macOS, and Linux. After installing it:
- Open calibre.
- Select Add books.
- Find the EPUB downloaded from WP Downloader.
- Select the file and add it.
The story will appear in your calibre library. From there, you can open it in calibre’s e-book viewer, organize it with your other books, or prepare it for another device.
Keeping several Asianfanfics stories in one calibre library can make them easier to browse than files stored separately in a folder.
Manage the story in calibre
Check the title, author, and cover
After importing the EPUB, check its metadata. calibre lets you edit the title, author, and cover.
Consistent titles and author names can make a large fanfiction collection easier to browse. You can also replace the cover with another image for your personal library.
Read the story on your computer
You can read the EPUB on your computer with calibre’s e-book viewer.
The viewer also includes a Read aloud feature, so you can listen to the story while keeping the EPUB in your calibre library.
Convert the EPUB when necessary
WP Downloader creates EPUB files for free. It can also create PDF files after a free Discord sign-in. It does not create MOBI, AZW3, or TXT files.
If your device or reading app needs another format, calibre can convert the EPUB to formats such as AZW3, MOBI, or PDF. Keeping the original EPUB gives you a source file that you can convert again later.
You can skip conversion if your reader already supports EPUB.
Transfer the story to an e-reader
Connect your e-reader to your computer with a USB cable. You can then use calibre to send the story from your library to the connected device.
Convert the book first if your device requires a different format. For instructions for a particular device, see sending Asianfanfics stories to Kindle or reading Asianfanfics stories on Kobo.
Once the transfer is complete, disconnect the device and read the story offline.
Keep ongoing stories up to date
WP Downloader cannot add new chapters to an EPUB you already have. When an Asianfanfics story gets new chapters, return to the downloader and download the complete story again.
Add the new EPUB to calibre, then decide whether to keep or remove the earlier copy. Check the new file before treating it as your updated version.
