How to read a SciFiStories story in Google Play Books
To read a SciFiStories story in Google Play Books, download the whole story as an EPUB with WP Downloader and upload the file to your Play Books library. You can then read it on the web, Android, iPhone, or iPad.
Step 1: Copy the SciFiStories story link
Open the story on scifistories.com and copy its URL from your browser’s address bar. A SciFiStories story URL looks like this:
https://scifistories.com/s/1234/story-titleCopy the main story URL. WP Downloader downloads whole stories from SciFiStories, not individual chapters or story lists.
Step 2: Download the story with WP Downloader
Open the SciFiStories downloader and paste the story link into the box. You can also paste it on the WP Downloader home page, which will detect that the link is from SciFiStories.
You need to sign in with your SciFiStories account to download from this site. WP Downloader uses your credentials only to fetch the story you requested. It can download only the content your account can already read and does not bypass locked content, paywalls, or age restrictions.
Select EPUB as the output format. EPUB downloads are free for everyone and can be uploaded to Google Play Books. To keep the story’s illustrations, turn on the option to include images.
WP Downloader can also create a PDF, although PDF downloads require a free Discord sign-in. EPUB works well for this guide because Google Play Books accepts it.
Once the download is complete, save the EPUB somewhere you can find it.

Step 3: Upload the EPUB to Google Play Books
Google Play Books accepts personal DRM-free EPUB and PDF files. You can upload the SciFiStories EPUB from the Play Books website or the Android app.
Upload from a computer
Open the Google Play Books website and use its file upload option. Select the EPUB from your computer or choose it from Google Drive.
Upload from an Android device
Open the Google Play Books app on your Android phone or tablet. Use the upload option to select the EPUB file.
Read on iPhone or iPad
After uploading the EPUB to your Google Play Books library, open the Play Books app on your iPhone or iPad. Use the same Google account, find the uploaded story in your library, and open it.
Step 4: Open the story in your library
After the upload is complete, open the SciFiStories story from the Google Play Books website or app.
If an unfinished story gets new chapters, download the whole story again with WP Downloader and upload the new file. WPD cannot add new chapters to an EPUB you already downloaded.
For another e-reader, follow the guide to send a SciFiStories story to Kindle or read a SciFiStories story on Kobo.
