Read Potions and Snitches Stories on a Kobo E-Reader
To read a Potions and Snitches story on a Kobo, download the complete story as an EPUB with WP Downloader and transfer the file to your e-reader. Kobo opens EPUB files natively, so no conversion is needed.
WP Downloader is a free web tool with nothing to install. You do not need a Potions and Snitches account to download stories.
Download the story as an EPUB
Find the story on potionsandsnitches.org or potionsandsnitches.net. Its address should look similar to this:
https://potionsandsnitches.org/fanfiction/viewstory.php?sid=1234 Copy the full story URL, then:
- Open the Potions and Snitches downloader.
- Paste the story URL into the download box.
- Select EPUB as the output format.
- Choose whether to include the story’s images.
- Download the EPUB to your phone or computer.
EPUB downloads are free for everyone. WP Downloader can also create a PDF with a free Discord sign-in, but EPUB works better for this guide because Kobo e-readers support it natively.
For Potions and Snitches, WP Downloader downloads complete stories. It cannot download a single chapter or a list of stories. If the author adds more chapters, download the complete story again to get a new EPUB with the latest available version. WP Downloader cannot update a file you have already saved.

Transfer the EPUB with a USB cable
You can copy the downloaded story from a computer to your Kobo over USB:
- Connect the Kobo e-reader to your computer with a USB cable.
- Wait for the Kobo to appear as a drive.
- Open the Kobo drive.
- Copy the downloaded EPUB onto it.
- Safely eject the Kobo from your computer.
- Disconnect the cable.
The story will appear in your Kobo library. You can open it like any other book and read it without returning to the Potions and Snitches website.
Transfer the EPUB through Dropbox
Some Kobo models support non-protected EPUB and PDF files through Dropbox. You need Kobo software version 4.18 or later and one of these models:
- Kobo Forma
- Kobo Sage
- Kobo Elipsa
- Kobo Elipsa 2E
- Kobo Libra Colour
Link your Dropbox account from the e-reader, put the EPUB in the Kobo cloud folder, and sync the device. The story will then appear on that Kobo.
Books added through Dropbox appear only on the device where you added them.
Transfer the EPUB through Google Drive
Google Drive support requires Kobo software version 4.37 or later. It works on the same models:
- Kobo Forma
- Kobo Sage
- Kobo Elipsa
- Kobo Elipsa 2E
- Kobo Libra Colour
On your Kobo, open “Home,” then “More,” then “My Google Drive,” and select “Get Started.” The e-reader will display a code. Enter it on the Kobo website to link your Google Drive account.
Put the EPUB in the connected cloud folder and sync your Kobo. Books added through Google Drive appear only on that device.
If your Kobo is not listed above, transfer the EPUB with a USB cable.
Save a copy of the EPUB
Keep the downloaded EPUB somewhere you can find it later. You can then transfer it back to your Kobo whenever you need it.
The saved book will not update automatically. When new chapters become available, return to WP Downloader and download the complete story again. The guide to reading Potions and Snitches stories offline has more information about offline reading.
Other e-readers may use a different transfer process. For Kindle instructions, see sending Potions and Snitches stories to Kindle.
