How to Read Pretender Centre Stories Offline
WP Downloader lets you save a complete Missing Pieces story as an EPUB or PDF, which you can then read offline on a phone, tablet, e-reader, or computer. The tool is free to use in your browser, with nothing to install.
Download the Missing Pieces story
Open the story you want on the Missing Pieces section of Pretender Centre. Its address should look like this:
https://www.pretendercentre.com/missingpieces/viewstory.php?sid=1234 Copy the full address from your browser, then open the Pretender Centre downloader. Paste the link into the box, and WP Downloader will detect the site.
Choose an output format:
- EPUB is free for everyone.
- PDF requires a free Discord sign-in.
- You can also include the story’s images.
You do not need a Pretender Centre account. WP Downloader saves the whole story and cannot download a single chapter or a list of stories from this archive.
If the author adds more chapters, paste the story link into WP Downloader again and download a new copy. The tool cannot add new chapters to an EPUB you already have.
The Pretender Centre download guide covers the download process in more detail.
Read the story offline on a phone
Download the EPUB or PDF while you are connected to the internet. Once the file is on your phone, open it with an app that supports the chosen format.
If an EPUB opens in your browser or file manager, use the share or open-with option to move it to your reading app. Open a PDF with a PDF reader.
Open the book once before going offline and check that its chapters are present.
Read the story offline on a tablet
The steps are similar on a tablet:
- Copy the Missing Pieces story link.
- Paste it into WP Downloader.
- Download the EPUB or PDF.
- Open the file in a compatible reading app.
- Check the book before going offline.
If you downloaded the file on another device, transfer it to the tablet before opening it in your reading app.
Read the story on an e-reader
Choose EPUB if your e-reader or its companion app accepts that format. Download the story, then transfer the finished file using the method provided for your device.
For Kindle, follow the Kindle transfer guide. Kobo readers can use the Pretender Centre Kobo guide.
WP Downloader does not create MOBI or AZW3 files. Download the EPUB and follow the instructions for your device.
Read the story offline on a computer
Save the downloaded EPUB or PDF somewhere easy to find, such as your downloads folder.
Open an EPUB in a compatible desktop reading app or a PDF in a PDF reader. Once the file is saved on your computer, you can read it without returning to pretendercentre.com.
If you keep several stories, store them in a folder where you can find them easily. After downloading a newer copy of a story, check that you have opened the new file instead of the old one.
