How to read a Sam & Jack story on Android
To read a Sam & Jack story on an Android phone or tablet, download it as an EPUB with WP Downloader and open the file in an EPUB reader. The download works in your browser, so you do not need to install WP Downloader.
Download the Sam & Jack story
Find the story on samandjack.net. Its address should look like this:
https://samandjack.net/fanfics/viewstory.php?sid=1234Copy the full story link and follow these steps:
- Open the Sam & Jack downloader.
- Paste the story link into the box.
- Choose EPUB, which is free for everyone, or PDF, which requires a free Discord sign-in.
- Choose whether to include the story’s images.
- Download the file to your Android phone or tablet.
WP Downloader downloads the complete story from Sam & Jack. It cannot download a single chapter or a story list, and it does not create MOBI, AZW3, or TXT files.
You do not need to sign in to download public stories. For members-only stories, you can sign in with your Sam & Jack account. WP Downloader can only fetch content that your account is allowed to read, and it uses your credentials only to retrieve the story you requested. It does not bypass locked content, paywalls, or age restrictions.
Support for Sam & Jack and the other fiction archives in WP Downloader was ported from FanFicFare, the open-source fanfiction downloader.
Open the EPUB on Android
EPUB works well for reading a story on a phone or tablet. Once the download finishes, open the file in an Android app that supports EPUB, such as Google Play Books or Moon+ Reader.
Use Google Play Books
Google Play Books accepts DRM-free EPUB and PDF files. You can upload the downloaded story from the Play Books Android app. You can also use the Play Books website to upload it from your computer or Google Drive.
After uploading the story, you can read it in Google Play Books on Android, on the web, or on an iPhone or iPad.
Very large books may reach Google’s upload size limit. If that happens, open the EPUB directly in another reader, such as Moon+ Reader.
Use Moon+ Reader
Moon+ Reader opens EPUB files on Android. After downloading the Sam & Jack story, open the EPUB in Moon+ Reader to start reading.
The app also has a built-in text-to-speech mode if you want to listen to the story.
Open the PDF instead
WP Downloader can create a PDF after you sign in with Discord for free. Download the file, then open it with an Android app that supports PDFs.
For reading on a phone or tablet, EPUB is a good format to try first.
Listen to the story on Android
You can have the downloaded story read aloud in several ways:
- Turn on Select to Speak under Settings, then Accessibility. Tap an item on the screen to hear it read aloud.
- Open the EPUB in Moon+ Reader and use its built-in text-to-speech mode.
- Open the EPUB in @Voice Aloud Reader.
All three options use the text-to-speech voices installed on your device. How natural the narration sounds depends on the voices available on your phone or tablet.
Get new chapters later
WP Downloader cannot add new chapters to an EPUB you have already downloaded. When a Sam & Jack story is updated, return to the downloader, paste the link again, and download a new copy of the complete story.
