Read Nine Lives Archive Stories on a Boox E-Reader
First, use WP Downloader to save the whole Nine Lives Archive story as an EPUB or PDF. You can then copy the file to your Boox over USB or open it from an app such as Google Drive.
Download the story with WP Downloader
WP Downloader is a free web tool that works with stories on ninelivesarchive.com and ninelives.dark-solace.org. You do not need to install anything.
A Nine Lives Archive story link usually looks like this:
http://ninelivesarchive.com/viewstory.php?sid=1234 - Open the Nine Lives Archive downloader.
- Copy the address of the story you want to read.
- Paste the link into the box.
- Choose EPUB or PDF.
- Choose whether to include the story’s images.
- Download the file to your phone or computer.
EPUB is free for everyone. PDF requires a free Discord sign-in. WP Downloader does not create MOBI, AZW3, or TXT files.
The downloader saves the entire story from Nine Lives Archive. It cannot download a single chapter or a list of stories. If the author adds new chapters, download the story again to get them. WP Downloader cannot add chapters to an EPUB you already downloaded.
You do not need a Nine Lives Archive account for public stories. If a story is available only to members, you can sign in with your account on the archive. WP Downloader uses your credentials only to fetch the story you requested and downloads only material your account can already read. It cannot bypass locked content or age restrictions.
The Nine Lives Archive download guide has more details about downloading stories from the archive.
Move the story to your Boox
Boox e-readers run Android. They can open EPUB and PDF files in the built-in reader, or you can install another Android reading app.
Copy the file over USB
If the file is on your computer:
- Connect your Boox to the computer with a USB cable.
- Open the Boox storage on the computer.
- Copy the EPUB or PDF to the device.
- Disconnect the Boox after the transfer finishes.
- Find the file on your Boox and open it in the built-in reader or another reading app.
Save the file somewhere you will recognize, especially if you plan to transfer more stories later.
Open the file from Google Drive
You can also save or upload the EPUB or PDF to Google Drive. Open Google Drive on your Boox, find the story, and open it with the built-in reader or another Android reading app.
This method works well when the file is already on your phone or computer and you do not want to connect the Boox over USB.
Read the story offline
After copying or opening the EPUB or PDF on your Boox, you can read the downloaded story offline. The file contains the whole story as it was when you downloaded it.
To get chapters published later, download the story again and move the new file to your Boox. The existing EPUB will not update automatically.
