How to Add Bloodshedverse Stories to Calibre
To add a Bloodshedverse story to calibre, download it as an EPUB with WP Downloader and import the file with calibre’s Add books command. Both tools are free, and WP Downloader runs in your browser without an installation.
Download a story with WP Downloader
Find the story on bloodshedverse.com. Its address should look like this:
https://bloodshedverse.com/stories.php?go=read&no=1234Copy the complete story link and open the Bloodshedverse downloader. Paste the link into the box, and WP Downloader will detect the site.
Choose EPUB as the output format. EPUB is free for everyone and works directly with calibre. You can include the story’s images if you want them in the book. PDF requires a free Discord sign-in, while EPUB can also be converted to other e-book formats in calibre.
You do not need a Bloodshedverse account. WP Downloader downloads the whole story, not individual chapters or lists.
See how to download Bloodshedverse stories for the general download instructions.
Add the EPUB to calibre
calibre is a free e-book manager for Windows, macOS, and Linux. After downloading the EPUB:
- Open calibre.
- Select Add books.
- Choose the Bloodshedverse EPUB.
- Wait for it to appear in your library.
You can now read the story, edit its details, convert it, or send it to a connected e-reader.
Each downloaded story can be added as a separate book, which makes a collection easier to browse.
Edit the metadata and cover
calibre lets you edit a book’s metadata and cover. Select the imported story and open the metadata editor, then review the details and change anything you want displayed differently.
For a more consistent library, use the same form of an author’s name across their books and format story titles the same way. Add only information you know is accurate.
Read or listen in calibre
Open the EPUB in calibre’s e-book viewer to read it on your computer. The viewer supports EPUB files directly, so you do not need to convert the story first.
The viewer also has a Read aloud feature if you prefer to listen.
Convert the story to another format
calibre can convert an EPUB to formats such as AZW3, MOBI, and PDF. Select the story, open calibre’s conversion tool, and choose the format you need.
WP Downloader does not create MOBI, AZW3, or TXT files. If your device needs MOBI or AZW3, download the EPUB and convert it with calibre.
You can keep the original EPUB when your app or e-reader supports it. For device-specific help, see how to send Bloodshedverse stories to Kindle or how to read Bloodshedverse stories on Kobo.
Send the book over USB
Connect your e-reader to your computer with a USB cable and wait for calibre to recognize it. Select the story, then use calibre’s option to send the book to the device.
If the device needs a different file type, convert the EPUB first. Keep the original EPUB in your calibre library if you may need another format later.
Get newly added chapters
WP Downloader cannot add new chapters to an EPUB you already downloaded. Paste the Bloodshedverse story link into WP Downloader again to download the whole story as a new EPUB.
When you add the new file to calibre, you can keep the earlier copy or replace it. Check the new file’s metadata so it matches the rest of your library.
