How to add Phoenixsong.net stories to calibre

To add a Phoenixsong.net story to calibre, first download it as an EPUB with WP Downloader. You can then import the file into calibre and manage it like your other e-books. Both tools are free. WP Downloader runs in your browser, and calibre is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Download the Phoenixsong.net story

WP Downloader downloads the complete story, so you do not have to save its chapters one at a time. You do not need to sign in to Phoenixsong.net.

1. Open the Phoenixsong.net downloader.
2. Copy the story URL from your browser. It should look similar to this:

https://www.phoenixsong.net/fanfiction/story/1234/

3. Paste the URL into WP Downloader.
4. Choose EPUB as the output format.
5. Choose whether to include the story’s images.
6. Download the finished file to your device.

EPUB downloads are free for everyone, and calibre can open the format directly. WP Downloader can also create a PDF after you sign in with a free Discord account. Start with EPUB if you want to edit the book’s details, convert it, or transfer it to an e-reader.

For Phoenixsong.net, WP Downloader handles whole stories only. It cannot download an individual chapter or a story list. See how to download Phoenixsong.net stories for more help with downloading.

Edit the metadata and cover

calibre lets you edit a book’s metadata and cover. After importing the story, review its title and other available details. Change anything you need to make the story easier to find and sort in your library. Consistent names can help when you collect stories from several fiction archives.

You can also replace the cover in calibre. This changes how the copy in your calibre library appears. It does not affect the story on Phoenixsong.net or the original EPUB downloaded from WP Downloader.

Read or listen in calibre

The viewer also has a Read aloud feature. Open the EPUB and select Read aloud to have calibre read the story to you.

Convert the story to another format

WP Downloader creates EPUB files and, after a free Discord sign-in, PDF files. It does not create MOBI, AZW3, or TXT files.

calibre can convert the EPUB if you need another format. Its conversion options include AZW3, MOBI, and PDF. You can keep the original EPUB in your library alongside the converted copy.

Open the converted book in calibre’s viewer before transferring it to check the result.

Send the story to an e-reader over USB

calibre can send books to an e-reader connected to your computer by USB.

1. Connect the e-reader to your computer with its USB cable.
2. Wait for calibre to recognize it.
3. Select the Phoenixsong.net story in your library.

For help with a particular device, see the guides to sending Phoenixsong.net stories to Kindle and reading Phoenixsong.net stories on Kobo.

Replace a story when it is updated

WP Downloader cannot add new chapters to an EPUB you already downloaded. If a Phoenixsong.net story gains new chapters or otherwise changes, use its story URL to download the complete story again.

Add the new EPUB to calibre, then check the book details to identify the newer copy before replacing or removing anything. You can keep both copies or remove the older one, depending on how you organize your library.
