Read Fanfics.me Stories on a Kobo E-Reader

To read a Fanfics.me story on a Kobo, download it as an EPUB with WP Downloader and copy the file to your e-reader. Kobo opens EPUB files directly, so you do not need to convert the file or install another reading app.

Download the Fanfics.me story as an EPUB

WP Downloader is a free web tool that runs in your browser, with nothing to install.

Open the Fanfics.me downloader and find the story on fanfics.me. Its address should look like this:

https://fanfics.me/fic1234

Copy the full story link and paste it into WP Downloader. The tool will detect the site automatically. Select EPUB as the output format. EPUB downloads are free for everyone, and Kobo e-readers support the format directly.

You can choose whether to include the story’s images. For Fanfics.me, WP Downloader downloads the whole story rather than individual chapters or story lists.

You do not need to sign in for public stories. If a story is available only to members, you can sign in with your Fanfics.me account so WP Downloader can access it. The tool can download only content your account is already allowed to read. It cannot bypass paywalls, locked chapters, age restrictions, or other access limits. Your credentials are used only to fetch the story you requested.

See downloading Fanfics.me stories for more details.

Put the EPUB on your Kobo with USB

USB works by copying the EPUB from your computer to the Kobo.

Connect your Kobo e-reader to your computer with a USB cable.
Wait for the Kobo to appear as a drive on the computer.
Open the Kobo drive.
Copy the EPUB file from WP Downloader onto it.
Safely eject the Kobo from the computer.
Disconnect the USB cable.

The story will appear in your Kobo library. Because the EPUB is stored on the device, you can read it without an internet connection. The guide to reading Fanfics.me stories offline covers offline reading in more detail.

Add the story through Dropbox

The following Kobo models can receive non-protected EPUB and PDF files through Dropbox when running software version 4.18 or later:

Kobo Forma
Kobo Sage
Kobo Elipsa
Kobo Elipsa 2E
Kobo Libra Colour

Link your Dropbox account from the e-reader, place the downloaded EPUB in the connected cloud folder, and sync the Kobo. After the sync, the story will appear on that device.

Books added through Dropbox appear only on the Kobo where you added them.

Add the story through Google Drive

Google Drive requires Kobo software version 4.37 or later and works on these models:

Kobo Forma
Kobo Sage
Kobo Elipsa
Kobo Elipsa 2E
Kobo Libra Colour

On the Kobo home screen, open More, select My Google Drive, and then select Get Started. The e-reader will display a code. Enter it on the Kobo website to link your Google Drive account.

Place the EPUB in the connected cloud folder and sync the Kobo. The story will then appear on that device. Like books added through Dropbox, books added through Google Drive appear only on the Kobo where you added them.

Use USB if your Kobo does not support Dropbox or Google Drive.

Download new chapters later

WP Downloader cannot add new chapters to an EPUB already stored on your Kobo. When the Fanfics.me story gets new chapters, paste its link into WP Downloader again and download a new copy of the whole story.

Transfer the new EPUB to your Kobo by USB, Dropbox, or Google Drive, depending on what your device supports. The original file will not update automatically.
