How to Read SpaceBattles Stories on a reMarkable

WP Downloader can save a SpaceBattles story as an EPUB or PDF that you can transfer to a reMarkable tablet. The downloader is a free web tool, so you do not need to install anything.

Download the SpaceBattles story

SpaceBattles stories are published as forum threads. WP Downloader collects the threadmarked chapters and puts them into one book.

Find the story you want to read. Its address should look like this:

https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/some-story-name.123456/

Copy the address, then:

1. Open the SpaceBattles downloader.
2. Paste the story link into the box.
3. Choose whether to include the story’s images.
4. Download the story as an EPUB or PDF.

EPUB is free for everyone. PDF requires a free Discord sign-in. You do not need a SpaceBattles account.

WP Downloader downloads the whole story, not individual chapters or lists. See how to download a SpaceBattles story for a more detailed guide.

When the author adds more threadmarked chapters, download the story again. WP Downloader creates a new book rather than adding chapters to an EPUB you already have.

Choose EPUB or PDF for your reMarkable

reMarkable tablets support EPUB and PDF files up to 100 MB, so you can use either format from WP Downloader.

Choose EPUB if you want the free option without a Discord sign-in. Choose PDF if you prefer that format and are willing to sign in to Discord for free.

If you include images, make sure the finished file stays within reMarkable’s 100 MB limit.

Transfer the story with the reMarkable app

You can add EPUB and PDF files through the reMarkable desktop or mobile app.

1. Download the EPUB or PDF from WP Downloader.
2. Open the reMarkable desktop or mobile app.
3. Add or import the downloaded file.
4. Wait for the file to appear on your reMarkable tablet.
5. Open the story on the tablet.

Keep the original file until you have confirmed that the book appears on your device.

Transfer the story from a web browser

You can also transfer files to a reMarkable from a web browser. After downloading the story from WP Downloader, use reMarkable’s browser upload option to add the EPUB or PDF.

Once the upload finishes, find the book on your tablet and open it. The threadmarked chapters will all be in the same book, so you will not need to move between forum posts.

Transfer the story over USB

You can transfer the book directly from a computer with a USB cable.

1. Connect the reMarkable tablet to your computer with a USB cable.
2. Open the tablet’s storage settings and turn on the USB web interface.
3. Open a browser on the connected computer.
4. Enter 10.11.99.1 in the browser’s address bar.
5. Upload the EPUB or PDF from WP Downloader.

The exact path to the USB web interface setting can differ between reMarkable software versions. If it is not where you expect, look for the USB web interface option in the tablet’s storage settings.

Read new chapters

The downloaded book contains the threadmarked chapters that were available when you created it. It does not update when the forum thread changes.

To get new chapters, return to the SpaceBattles downloader, paste the story link again, and download a new EPUB or PDF. You can transfer the new file with the reMarkable app, a web browser, or USB.

WP Downloader also has guides for sending SpaceBattles stories to Kindle and reading SpaceBattles stories on Kobo.
