How to Read Royal Road Stories on a Boox E-Reader
You can read a Royal Road story on a Boox e-reader by downloading the complete fiction as an EPUB or PDF with WP Downloader. Copy the file to your Boox over USB or open it from an app such as Google Drive. Boox devices run Android, so you can use the built-in reader or another Android reading app.
Download the Royal Road story
WP Downloader is a free web tool, with nothing to install. It puts the entire Royal Road fiction, including every chapter, into one file.
Royal Road fiction links usually look like this:
https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/12345To download a story:
- Open the Royal Road downloader.
- Copy the fiction’s URL from royalroad.com.
- Paste the URL into the box.
- Choose EPUB or PDF.
- Choose whether to include the story’s images.
- Download the file.
EPUB is free for everyone. PDF requires a free Discord sign-in. You do not need a Royal Road account.
See the Royal Road story download guide for more detail.
WP Downloader creates EPUB and PDF files. It does not create MOBI, AZW3, or TXT files. Boox e-readers can open EPUB and PDF files in their built-in reader.
Move the story to your Boox
After downloading the file, move it to your Boox over USB or use Google Drive.
Copy the file over USB
Connect your Boox e-reader to the device where you downloaded the story. Open the Boox storage and copy the EPUB or PDF file to it.
Once the file has finished copying, open it with the built-in reader. You can also use another Android reading app installed on your Boox.
Open the file from Google Drive
You can put the EPUB or PDF file in Google Drive and access it from your Boox. Open the Google Drive app, find the file, and choose a compatible reading app.
This also works when you downloaded the story on another device and do not want to transfer it over USB.
Choose EPUB or PDF
Both formats work on Boox e-readers. EPUB is a good choice for a long web serial because WP Downloader combines the complete fiction into one file instead of creating a separate file for each chapter.
You can choose PDF if you prefer it. PDF downloads require a free Discord sign-in, while EPUB downloads do not.
Both formats can include the fiction’s images.
Download new chapters
WP Downloader cannot add new chapters to an EPUB you already have. When the Royal Road author publishes more chapters, return to the Royal Road downloader and download the fiction again.
The new download will contain all chapters available at that time. Transfer the file to your Boox over USB or through Google Drive.
Read Royal Road offline on Boox
Once the EPUB or PDF is on your Boox, you can read the complete fiction without keeping it open in a browser. Open the file in the built-in reader or another compatible Android reading app.
You can also move WP Downloader files to other compatible e-readers. See the guides for sending Royal Road stories to Kindle or reading Royal Road stories on Kobo.
