Read Ad Astra stories in Apple Books on iPhone, iPad, or Mac

To read an Ad Astra story in Apple Books, download it as an EPUB with WP Downloader and add the file to Books on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. The imported story will appear in your Apple Books Library for offline reading.

WP Downloader is a free web tool, with nothing to install. You only need the Ad Astra story link and the device you want to read on.

Download the Ad Astra story as an EPUB

Find the story on adastrafanfic.com. Its URL should look like this:

https://www.adastrafanfic.com/works/123456

Copy the full URL and open the Ad Astra 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 with Apple Books. You can also choose whether to include the story’s images.

WP Downloader downloads the whole story from Ad Astra. It cannot download individual chapters or lists from this site. If the author adds more chapters later, download the story again to create a new EPUB with the chapters currently available. An EPUB you already downloaded will not update automatically.

You can sign in to your Ad Astra account if you want to download a members-only story that your account can read. WP Downloader uses your credentials only to fetch the story you requested. It cannot bypass locked content, paywalls, or age restrictions.
