How to put a NovelFull story on a Kindle with calibre
You can put a NovelFull story on your Kindle without Amazon’s Send to Kindle service. Download the complete story as an EPUB with WP Downloader, then use calibre to convert it to AZW3 and copy it to the Kindle over USB.
What you need
You will need:
- The NovelFull story page
- A Windows, macOS, or Linux computer
- WP Downloader in your web browser
- calibre, a free e-book manager
- A USB cable for your Kindle
WP Downloader does not need to be installed. calibre runs on your computer and handles the conversion and USB transfer.
Step 1: Copy the NovelFull story link
Open the story on novelfull.com and copy the URL from your browser’s address bar. A NovelFull story link looks like this:
https://novelfull.com/a-story-name.htmlCopy the main story URL instead of a link to an individual chapter. WP Downloader downloads complete NovelFull stories, not single chapters or lists.
You do not need a NovelFull account. NovelFull stories are in English.
Step 2: Download the story with WP Downloader
Go to the NovelFull downloader and paste the story link into the box. WP Downloader detects the site and prepares the complete story.
Choose EPUB as the output format. EPUB is free for everyone and can be converted by calibre. To keep the story’s pictures, select the option to include images before downloading.
Save the EPUB somewhere you can find it, such as your Downloads folder.
WP Downloader does not create MOBI or AZW3 files. calibre can convert the EPUB to either format.
The NovelFull download guide covers the download process in more detail.
Step 3: Add the EPUB to calibre
Open calibre and select “Add books.” Find the downloaded EPUB and add it to your calibre library.
Select the book to review or edit its title, author, cover, and other metadata.
You can also check the EPUB in calibre’s e-book viewer. The viewer has a Read aloud feature if you want to listen on your computer.
Step 4: Connect your Kindle over USB
Connect your Kindle to the computer with a USB cable and keep calibre open while it connects.
Once calibre recognizes the Kindle, select the NovelFull book in your library. You can convert and transfer it from calibre without using Amazon’s online service.
Step 5: Convert the EPUB to AZW3
Use calibre’s conversion feature with the story selected, then choose AZW3 as the output format. Kindle e-readers can open AZW3 files copied over USB.
calibre can also convert an EPUB to MOBI or PDF. Amazon’s Send to Kindle service no longer accepts MOBI, but Kindle e-readers can still open MOBI and AZW3 files transferred over USB.
Step 6: Send the book to your Kindle
After the conversion, select the book and use “Send to device.” calibre will copy the AZW3 version to the connected Kindle.
When the transfer finishes, disconnect the Kindle. The NovelFull story will be available for offline reading.
To use Amazon’s online delivery service instead, follow the guide to send a NovelFull story to Kindle.
Getting new chapters later
WP Downloader cannot add new chapters to an EPUB you already have. If NovelFull publishes more chapters, return to the NovelFull downloader and download the complete story again.
Add the new EPUB to calibre, convert it to AZW3, and transfer it to your Kindle over USB.
If you use another e-reader, you can also read NovelFull stories on Kobo.
