Read a Chireads Story in Apple Books

To read a Chireads story in Apple Books, download it as an EPUB with WP Downloader and add the file to your Books library. Apple Books can open EPUB and PDF files on iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Download the Chireads story with WP Downloader

WP Downloader is a free web tool, with nothing to install. It supports French stories from Chireads, and you do not need to sign in.

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

https://chireads.com/category/translatedtales/story-name

Copy the full URL, then:

1. Open the Chireads downloader.
2. Paste the story link into the box.
3. Wait for WP Downloader to detect the site and process the story.
4. Choose EPUB as the output format.
5. Choose whether to include the story’s images.
6. Download the file to your device.

For Chireads, WP Downloader downloads the whole story. It cannot download a single chapter or a reading list.

EPUB downloads are free for everyone. WP Downloader can also create a PDF, but downloading one requires a free Discord sign-in. Both formats open in Apple Books, though EPUB works well for adding a story to your book library.
