How to Read Nine Lives Archive Stories on a tolino eReader
To read a Nine Lives Archive story on a tolino eReader, download the 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 you do not need to install anything.
Download the story as an EPUB
Find the story on ninelivesarchive.com or ninelives.dark-solace.org. Its URL will look like this:
http://ninelivesarchive.com/viewstory.php?sid=1234Copy the complete URL and open the Nine Lives Archive downloader. Paste the link into the box. WP Downloader will detect which site it came from.
Choose EPUB as the output format. EPUB downloads are free for everyone, and tolino eReaders can open them. WP Downloader also offers PDF after a free Discord sign-in, but EPUB is the suitable format for this transfer.
Select the option to include the story’s images if you want them in the EPUB.
For Nine Lives Archive, WP Downloader downloads the entire story. It cannot download a single chapter or a list. See how to download Nine Lives Archive stories for a broader guide to the download process.
Sign in when you need a members-only story
Public stories do not require a Nine Lives Archive account. You can sign in with an account from the site to download members-only stories that the account can already read.
WP Downloader uses your credentials only to fetch the story you requested. It cannot bypass paywalls, locked chapters, or age restrictions.
Nine Lives Archive support was ported from FanFicFare, the Apache-2.0 open-source fanfiction downloader.
Transfer the EPUB to your tolino
After the EPUB downloads, connect your tolino eReader to your computer with its USB-C cable.
Wait for the computer to detect the reader. The tolino vision 6, shine 4, and epos 3 use MTP for USB transfers, so your computer may show one of these models as a connected device instead of a removable drive.
Open the tolino’s storage, find the Books folder, and put the downloaded EPUB inside it.
- Connect the tolino to your computer with USB-C.
- Wait for the computer to detect it.
- Open the tolino’s storage.
- Open the Books folder.
- Copy the Nine Lives Archive EPUB into the folder.
- Wait for the copy to finish.
- Disconnect the tolino.
Do not unplug the cable while the file is copying.
Open the story on your tolino
Once the transfer is finished, disconnect the tolino and open its book library. You can now open the EPUB and read the story offline.
You may want to keep the downloaded EPUB on your computer as a backup. WP Downloader cannot add new chapters to an existing EPUB. When the story gains new chapters, download it again and transfer the new EPUB to your tolino.
