How to Read SpaceBattles Stories on a Boox E-Reader
To read a SpaceBattles story on a Boox e-reader, download it as an EPUB or PDF with WP Downloader and transfer the file to your device. EPUB is free for everyone and opens in the built-in Boox reader.
Download the SpaceBattles story
SpaceBattles stories are published as forum threads. WP Downloader gathers the threadmarked chapters from a story thread and puts them into one book.
WP Downloader is a free web tool, so there is nothing to install. You do not need a SpaceBattles account to use it.
1. Copy the story thread link
Open the SpaceBattles story in your browser and copy the thread URL. It should look like this:
https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/some-story-name.123456/Copy the main story thread URL, rather than a link to an individual post.
2. Paste the link into WP Downloader
Open the SpaceBattles downloader and paste the URL into the box. WP Downloader detects the site and gathers the threadmarked chapters into one book.
For SpaceBattles, WP Downloader downloads whole stories only. It cannot create a book from a single chapter or a list of stories.
The SpaceBattles download guide covers this process in more detail.
3. Choose EPUB or PDF
Choose one of the available formats:
- EPUB is free for everyone and opens in the built-in reader on a Boox device.
- PDF also opens on Boox, but downloading it requires a free Discord sign-in.
You can choose whether to include the story’s images.
WP Downloader does not create MOBI, AZW3, or TXT files. Boox devices open EPUB and PDF files, so no conversion is needed.
Put the story on your Boox
Boox e-readers run Android. They can open EPUB and PDF files in the built-in reader, as well as in other Android reading apps. You can copy the book over USB or open it from an app such as Google Drive.
Option 1: Copy the book over USB
Connect your Boox to your computer with a USB cable. Copy the downloaded EPUB or PDF to a folder where you can find it easily.
Once the transfer is complete, open the file on your Boox. It will open in the built-in reader so you can read the story offline.
Option 2: Open the book from Google Drive
Upload the downloaded EPUB or PDF to Google Drive from your phone or computer. Open Google Drive on your Boox, find the file, and open it on the device.
This method does not require connecting the Boox to a computer.
Option 3: Use another Android reading app
You can install another Android reading app on your Boox if you prefer it to the built-in reader. Once the EPUB or PDF is on the device, open it with that app.
The screens vary between reading apps, but you do not need to convert the downloaded file first.
Get new chapters later
WP Downloader cannot add new chapters to an EPUB you have already downloaded. When the author adds more threadmarked chapters, return to the SpaceBattles downloader, paste the story link again, and download a new copy.
Transfer the new EPUB or PDF to your Boox using the same method as before.
There are also guides for sending SpaceBattles stories to Kindle and reading SpaceBattles stories on Kobo.
