Download the Sam & Jack story as an EPUB
Open the Sam & Jack Downloader and paste the story link into the box. WP Downloader will recognize it as a Sam & Jack link and get the story ready to download.
Choose EPUB as the output format. EPUB is free for everyone and works with your NOOK. You can choose whether to include the story’s images.
You do not need to sign in for public stories. If you have an account on samandjack.net, you can sign in to download members-only stories that your account can read. WP Downloader uses your credentials only to fetch the story you requested and cannot bypass access restrictions.
PDF is also available with a free Discord sign-in, but EPUB is the format to use for this guide. WPD does not create MOBI, AZW3, or TXT files.

Copy the EPUB to your NOOK
Barnes & Noble calls copying your own files to a NOOK “sideloading.” NOOK GlowLight models support sideloading over USB.
1. Connect the NOOK to your computer
Connect the NOOK with a USB cable to the computer where you downloaded the EPUB.
On newer NOOK models, swipe down from the top of the screen. Tap “USB for charging,” then choose “Transfer files (MTP)” so the computer can access the device’s storage.
2. Open the NOOK drive
The NOOK should appear on your computer as a drive named “NOOK.” Open the drive.
3. Copy the EPUB
Find the EPUB downloaded from WP Downloader and drag it onto the NOOK drive. Wait for the transfer to finish.
4. Eject the NOOK
Eject the NOOK from your computer before unplugging the USB cable. You can then open the EPUB on your NOOK and read the story offline.
Getting new chapters later
WP Downloader cannot add new chapters to an EPUB you already have. When the author updates the story, return to the Sam & Jack Downloader, paste the link again, and download a new copy of the complete story. Copy the new EPUB to your NOOK using the same USB steps.
