How to Read Command Dynamics Stories in KOReader
To read a Command Dynamics story in KOReader, download the complete story as an EPUB with WP Downloader. You can then copy the file to your device and open it from KOReader’s file browser. EPUB downloads are free, and WP Downloader works in your browser with nothing to install.
Download the story with WP Downloader
Find the Command Dynamics story you want on sheppardweir.com. Its address should look like this:
https://sheppardweir.com/fanfics/viewstory.php?sid=1234Copy the address and open the Command Dynamics story downloader. Paste the link into the box, and WP Downloader will detect the site.
Choose EPUB as the output format. KOReader opens both EPUB and PDF, though EPUB is usually the simpler format for fiction. EPUB is free for everyone. PDF is also available with a free Discord sign-in.
To include artwork or other images from the story, turn on the image option before downloading.
WP Downloader downloads the whole story from Command Dynamics. It cannot download a single chapter or a story list from this archive. If the author adds chapters later, download the story again to create an updated EPUB. WPD cannot add new chapters to a file you already downloaded.

Sign in only when the story requires it
Public stories do not require a Command Dynamics account. For a members-only story, you can sign in with your sheppardweir.com account so WP Downloader can retrieve content your account is allowed to read.
WP Downloader uses your credentials only to fetch the story you requested. It cannot bypass members-only access, paywalls, locked chapters, or age restrictions.
WPD’s support for Command Dynamics and other fiction archives was ported from FanFicFare, the open-source fanfiction downloader.
Move the EPUB to your device
Once the EPUB has downloaded, copy it to the device where you use KOReader.
Kobo or PocketBook
Connect the reader to your computer with USB and copy the EPUB onto the device as usual. Safely disconnect the reader when the transfer is finished.
Open KOReader, find the EPUB in its file browser, and select it to start reading.
Kobo users can also read how to read Sheppard/Weir stories on Kobo.
Android phone or tablet
Copy the EPUB to your Android device with your usual file-transfer method. Save it in a folder that will be easy to find.
Open KOReader, browse to that folder, and select the EPUB. You can now read the story without returning to the Command Dynamics website.
Kindle
KOReader runs only on jailbroken Kindles. Installing it is a separate, unofficial process and is not covered here.
If KOReader is already installed on your Kindle, copy the EPUB to the device and open it from KOReader’s file browser. For another way to read on Kindle, see how to send Sheppard/Weir stories to Kindle.
Open the story in KOReader
Use KOReader’s file browser to open the folder where you saved the EPUB. Select the file to open the complete downloaded story as a book.
