Download the story as an EPUB

1. Open the Lois & Clark Fanfic Archive downloader.

EPUB downloads are free for everyone. WP Downloader can also make a PDF with a free Discord sign-in. It does not create MOBI, AZW3, or TXT files.

Support for the Lois & Clark Fanfic Archive was ported from FanFicFare, the open-source fanfiction downloader licensed under Apache-2.0.

Add the EPUB to your calibre library

calibre is a free e-book manager for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Once you have calibre and the EPUB on your computer:

1. Open calibre.
2. Select Add books.
3. Locate the EPUB you downloaded from WP Downloader.
4. Select the file and add it to your library.
5. Find the imported story in the calibre book list.

You can now open the story from your calibre library, edit its details, convert it, or send it to a connected e-reader.

Organize the story in calibre

calibre lets you edit a book’s metadata and cover. After importing a story, check its details and update any fields that will make it easier to find in your library. You can also replace or adjust the cover without changing the story text in the EPUB.

Checking each story when you add it can make a larger offline fanfiction collection easier to browse.

Read the story in calibre

You can read the story on your computer without transferring it to another device. Select it in your calibre library and open it in the e-book viewer.

The viewer also has a Read aloud feature, so you can listen to the story while keeping the EPUB in the same calibre library.

Convert the EPUB to another format

WP Downloader does not create MOBI or AZW3 files. If you need one of those formats, add the EPUB to calibre and use its conversion feature. calibre can convert the file to AZW3, MOBI, or PDF.

You may want to keep the original EPUB in your library as a source for future conversions.

Converting the file does not download new story content. WP Downloader cannot add new chapters to an EPUB already in calibre. If the story is updated, download the complete story again and add the new file to your library. You can then keep or remove the older copy as you prefer.

Transfer the story to an e-reader

calibre can send a book to an e-reader connected to your computer over USB.

1. Connect the e-reader to your computer with a USB cable.
2. Wait for calibre to recognize it.
3. Select the Lois & Clark story in your library.
4. Use calibre’s send-to-device option.
5. Disconnect the device after the transfer finishes.

If your reader needs a different format, convert the EPUB in calibre before sending it.
