Read SIYE Stories in Google Play Books
To read a Sink Into Your Eyes story in Google Play Books, download it with WP Downloader and upload the EPUB or PDF file to your Play Books library. You can then read the story on the web, Android, iPhone, or iPad.
What you need
WP Downloader is a free web tool, and there is nothing to install. You do not need to sign in to Sink Into Your Eyes, commonly called SIYE, to download a story.
Start with the link to the story’s main page. A SIYE story URL looks like this:
https://www.siye.co.uk/siye/viewstory.php?sid=1234WP Downloader downloads the whole story, not an individual chapter or a list of stories. You can create:
- An EPUB, free for everyone
- A PDF, available with a free Discord sign-in
- Either format with the story’s images, if you select that option
Google Play Books accepts DRM-free EPUB and PDF files, so you can use either format.
Step 1: Download the SIYE story
- Open the story on siye.co.uk.
- Copy the URL from the address bar. Copy the main story page rather than an individual chapter.
- Open the SIYE downloader.
- Paste the story link into the box.
- Choose EPUB or PDF.
- Select the image option if you want to include the story’s images.
- Download the finished file to your device.
You do not need a SIYE account. WP Downloader recognizes the site from the URL and puts the whole story into one book file.

WP Downloader’s support for SIYE and its other fiction archives was ported from FanFicFare, the open-source fanfiction downloader.
Step 2: Add the story to Google Play Books
You can upload DRM-free EPUB and PDF files to Google Play Books. The steps depend on the device you use.
Upload from a computer
Open the Google Play Books website and choose its upload option. Select the EPUB or PDF from your computer, or add the file from Google Drive.
When the upload finishes, open the story from your Play Books library to read it in your browser. It will also be available in Google Play Books on your other supported devices.
Upload from an Android device
Download the story from WP Downloader as an EPUB or PDF. Open the Google Play Books app and use its upload option to add the file.
Once the story appears in your library, select it to start reading.
Read on an iPhone or iPad
Upload the story through the Google Play Books website from your computer or Google Drive. Then open Google Play Books on your iPhone or iPad and select the story from your library.
This also makes the story available through Play Books on several supported devices.
Choose EPUB or PDF
Google Play Books accepts both formats.
Anyone can download an EPUB from WP Downloader without signing in. Creating a PDF requires a free Discord sign-in. If the story has images, WP Downloader can include them in either format.
WP Downloader does not create MOBI, AZW3, or TXT files. You do not need those formats here because Google Play Books accepts EPUB and PDF.
A very large book may reach Google’s upload size limit. If it does, you will not be able to add the file through the usual Play Books upload process.
Get newly published chapters
WP Downloader creates a complete book from the version of the story available when you download it. It cannot update an EPUB you downloaded earlier.
When the SIYE author publishes more chapters, return to the SIYE downloader, paste the story link again, and download a new copy. You can then upload the new file to Google Play Books.
If you want to read on another device, see the guides to sending SIYE stories to Kindle and reading SIYE stories on Kobo.
