How to Read FicWad Stories on a tolino eReader
To read a FicWad story on a tolino eReader, download the whole story as an EPUB with WP Downloader and copy the file to the Books folder on your tolino. WP Downloader is a free web tool, so there is nothing to install.
Download the FicWad story as an EPUB
Find the FicWad story you want to read. Its address should look like this:
https://ficwad.com/story/1234Copy the full story link and open the FicWad downloader. Paste the link into the box. WP Downloader will detect that it comes from FicWad.
Choose EPUB as the output format. EPUB downloads are free for everyone, and tolino eReaders can read EPUB files. WP Downloader can also create a PDF, but that format requires a free Discord sign-in and is unnecessary for this guide.
Turn on the option to include images if you want the story’s pictures in the book. Download the finished EPUB to your computer.
For FicWad, WP Downloader downloads whole stories only. It cannot download a single chapter or a list. When the story gains new chapters, download it again to create a new EPUB. WP Downloader cannot add those chapters to the EPUB you already have.

Sign in for members-only stories

WP Downloader uses your credentials only to fetch the story you requested. It cannot bypass age restrictions or other access controls.
FicWad support was ported from FanFicFare, the Apache-2.0 open-source fanfiction downloader.
Copy the EPUB to your tolino
Transfer the downloaded EPUB with a USB-C cable.
- Connect your tolino eReader to your computer with the USB-C cable.
- Wait for the computer to detect the reader.

After the copy finishes, disconnect the tolino from your computer. Find the EPUB on the reader and open it. The story is stored on the device, so you can read it offline.
If you download the story again after new chapters appear, copy the new EPUB to the Books folder in the same way.
