Read stck.me Stories in Google Play Books
To read a stck.me story in Google Play Books, download it as an EPUB with WP Downloader and upload the file to Play Books. You can then open it on the web, an Android device, an iPhone, or an iPad.
Step 1: Copy the stck.me story link
Open the story and copy its URL. Each stck.me author has a separate site, and story addresses follow this pattern:
https://author.stck.me/story/123/titleStep 2: Download the story with WP Downloader
Open the stck.me downloader. WP Downloader is a free web tool, so you do not need to install anything.
Paste the story link into the box, then sign in with your stck.me account when prompted. WP Downloader uses your credentials only to fetch the story you requested. It can access only the chapters that your account can already read.
Select EPUB as the output format. EPUB downloads are free for everyone, and you can choose whether to include the story’s images.
You can also download a PDF, but this requires a free Discord sign-in. Google Play Books accepts both EPUB and PDF files.
WP Downloader cannot buy a story, follow an author, or unlock restricted content. Paid or follower-only chapters that your stck.me account cannot read remain locked, and the downloaded book includes a notice in their place.
See the stck.me download guide for more help with downloading the file.
Step 3: Upload the EPUB to Google Play Books
Find the EPUB file on your device after the download finishes. Google Play Books accepts uploads of your own DRM-free EPUB and PDF files.
From a computer
Open the Google Play Books website and select its upload option. Choose the EPUB from your computer or Google Drive.
After the upload finishes, the story will appear in your Play Books library. You can read it in a web browser or open it later in the Play Books app on a phone or tablet.
From an Android device
Open the Google Play Books Android app and use its upload option to add the EPUB to your library. You can then open the story in Play Books.
On an iPhone or iPad
Upload the EPUB through the Google Play Books website from a computer or Google Drive. Once it is in your library, open the Play Books app on your iPhone or iPad to read it.
Reading updated chapters
WP Downloader cannot add new chapters to an EPUB you downloaded earlier. When the author adds chapters, return to the stck.me downloader and download the story again.
Upload the new file to Google Play Books to read the latest chapters available to your stck.me account.
If the upload does not work
Check that you downloaded an EPUB or PDF. WP Downloader does not produce MOBI, AZW3, or TXT files.
Very large books can reach Google’s upload size limit. If your download includes images, try downloading the story again without them and upload the smaller file.
