Download the story as an EPUB
Open the Chireads downloader in your browser. WP Downloader runs on the web, with nothing to install.

Select EPUB for the output. EPUB downloads are free for everyone, and tolino eReaders can read this format. WP Downloader also supports PDF with a free Discord sign-in, but EPUB is the format you need here.
You can choose whether to include the story’s images. When the EPUB is ready, save it somewhere easy to find on your computer.

Copy the EPUB to your tolino
Connect your tolino to the computer with a USB-C cable and wait for the computer to detect it.
The tolino vision 6, shine 4, and epos 3 use MTP for USB transfers, so your computer may show the reader as a connected device instead of a removable drive. Open the tolino device and find its Books folder.
Copy the EPUB into the Books folder. Leave the tolino connected until the copy finishes, and do not unplug the cable while the file is transferring.
Once the copy is complete, disconnect the tolino and open the EPUB on the reader. The story is now available for offline reading.
Get newly published chapters
WP Downloader cannot add new chapters to an EPUB you already have. If the Chireads story is updated, return to the Chireads downloader, paste the story link again, and download the whole story as a new EPUB.
Copy the new EPUB to the Books folder with the same USB-C process.
Read the story on another eReader
For a different eReader, follow the guide for reading Chireads stories on Kobo or sending Chireads stories to Kindle.
