How to read a SquidgeWorld Archive story on a tolino

You can read a SquidgeWorld Archive story offline on a tolino by downloading it as an EPUB with WP Downloader, then copying the file to the reader’s “Books” folder over USB-C.

What you need

You will need:

• The SquidgeWorld Archive link for the story
• A computer
• Your tolino eReader
• A USB-C cable

A SquidgeWorld story link usually looks like this:

https://squidgeworld.org/works/123456

WP Downloader is a free web tool, so you do not need to install anything. EPUB downloads are free for everyone, and tolino eReaders can read EPUB files.

Download the SquidgeWorld story as an EPUB

Open the SquidgeWorld downloader and follow these steps:

1. Copy the story’s SquidgeWorld Archive URL.
2. Paste the URL into the box on WP Downloader.
3. Wait for WP Downloader to detect the site and fetch the story.
4. Choose EPUB as the output format.
5. Choose whether to include the story’s images.
6. Download the EPUB to your computer.

For SquidgeWorld Archive, WP Downloader downloads the whole story. It does not support individual chapters or lists from this site.

You can download public stories without signing in. If a story is available only to members, you can sign in with a SquidgeWorld account that already has access to it. WP Downloader uses your account credentials only to fetch the story you requested. It does not bypass membership requirements, age restrictions, or other access controls.

See How to download SquidgeWorld stories for more details about the download process.

Transfer the EPUB to your tolino

Connect your tolino to your computer with its USB-C cable. Once the computer detects the reader, it should appear as a connected device.

The tolino vision 6, shine 4, and epos 3 use MTP for USB transfers.

To copy the story:

1. Open the tolino device on your computer.
2. Find the “Books” folder.
3. Locate the EPUB you downloaded from WP Downloader.
4. Copy or drag the EPUB into the “Books” folder.
5. Wait until the transfer is complete.
6. Disconnect the reader safely.

Do not unplug the cable while the file is copying.

Open the story on your tolino

After disconnecting the tolino, find the transferred EPUB in your books and open it. The story is stored on the reader, so you can read it without an internet connection.

If the story later gets new chapters, download it again and transfer the new EPUB to your tolino. WP Downloader cannot update an EPUB that is already on the device.

EPUB or PDF for a tolino?

Use EPUB for this process because tolino eReaders support the format.

WP Downloader can also create a PDF, which requires a free Discord sign-in. It does not create MOBI, AZW3, or TXT files.

Reading on another eReader

You can use the same download process for another eReader, although the transfer steps depend on the device. See the guides to send SquidgeWorld stories to Kindle or read SquidgeWorld stories on Kobo.
