How to Read Fanfictions.fr Stories on a Kobo

To read a Fanfictions.fr story on a Kobo, download it as an EPUB with WP Downloader and transfer the file to your e-reader. Kobo opens EPUB files directly, so no conversion is needed.

WP Downloader is a free web tool with nothing to install. It saves the complete story as a single file that you can keep on your Kobo and read offline.

Download the story as an EPUB

Find the story on fanfictions.fr. Its address should look like this:

https://www.fanfictions.fr/fanfictions/fandom/fanfiction-id/chapters.html

Copy the full address from your browser, then:

Open the Fanfictions.fr downloader.
Paste the story link into the box.
Choose EPUB as the output format.
Choose whether to include the story’s images.
Download the finished EPUB.

You do not need a Fanfictions.fr account. WP Downloader downloads whole stories from this archive, not individual chapters or story lists.

EPUB is free for everyone and opens directly on Kobo e-readers. WP Downloader can also make a PDF, which requires a free Discord sign-in, but EPUB is the simpler format for a Kobo.

For more help with this step, see the guide to downloading Fanfictions.fr stories.

Copy the EPUB to your Kobo by USB

For a USB transfer, you need a computer, the downloaded EPUB, and a cable.

Connect your Kobo to the computer.
Wait for it to appear as a drive.
Open the Kobo drive.
Copy the EPUB onto it.
Eject the Kobo safely.
Disconnect the cable.

The story will appear in the Kobo library after the device processes the file. You can then open it like any other book and read it without an internet connection.

Fanfictions.fr stories are written in French.

Transfer the story with Dropbox or Google Drive

The following Kobo models can receive non-protected EPUB and PDF files through cloud storage:

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

Dropbox requires Kobo software 4.18 or later. Google Drive requires software 4.37 or later.

Use Dropbox

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

Use Google Drive

On the Kobo, go to Home, then More, then My Google Drive, and select Get Started. Enter the code shown on the e-reader on the Kobo website to link your account.

Put the EPUB in the connected cloud folder and sync the e-reader. The story will then appear in the Kobo library.

Books added through Dropbox or Google Drive appear only on the device where you added them. Use USB if your Kobo is not one of the supported models.

Download new chapters later

WP Downloader cannot update an EPUB already stored on your Kobo. When the author publishes more chapters, use the downloader to save the whole story again.

Transfer the new EPUB by USB, Dropbox, or Google Drive. This version will contain the chapters available when you downloaded it.

Support for Fanfictions.fr and the other fiction archives in WP Downloader was ported from FanFicFare, the open-source fanfiction downloader. The supported sites page lists the other compatible archives.
