What you need
You will need:

KOReader is a free, open-source document reader for Kobo, PocketBook, and Android devices. It also runs on Kindles that have been jailbroken. The reader opens both EPUB and PDF files.
You do not need a Stories of Arda account. WP Downloader creates a book containing the whole English-language story. It cannot download a single chapter or a list of stories from this site.
Step 1: Copy the story link
Open the story on storiesofarda.com and copy its URL from your browser’s address bar. The link should look like this:
http://www.storiesofarda.com/chapterlistview.asp?SID=1234Copy the story’s chapter list URL so WP Downloader can find the complete story.
Step 2: Download the EPUB
Open the Stories of Arda downloader in your browser and paste the story link into the box. WP Downloader will recognize Stories of Arda from the URL.
Choose EPUB, select whether to include the story’s images, and start the download. EPUB is free for everyone and opens directly in KOReader.
You can also choose PDF, but that format requires a free Discord sign-in. WP Downloader does not offer MOBI, AZW3, or TXT.
Support for Stories of Arda and the other fiction archives listed on WP Downloader was ported from FanFicFare, the open-source fanfiction downloader.

Step 3: Copy the EPUB to your device
Find the EPUB in your browser’s downloads folder, then connect your reading device to your computer or phone.
You can copy the file to a Kobo or PocketBook over USB. For an Android device, use USB or your usual Android file transfer method. Save the EPUB somewhere you can find from KOReader’s file browser.
If you still need to install KOReader, follow the instructions for your device and software version. Installation on Kobo and Kindle is a separate, unofficial process. A Kindle must be jailbroken to run KOReader.
Step 4: Open the story in KOReader
Open KOReader and go to its file browser. Find the folder containing the EPUB, then select the file to start reading.
The story is stored on your device, so you can read it without returning to Stories of Arda or connecting to the internet.
For the device’s regular reading system, see the guides to sending Stories of Arda stories to Kindle or reading Stories of Arda stories on Kobo.
Downloading new chapters
WP Downloader cannot add new chapters to an EPUB you already have. When the story is updated, return to the Stories of Arda downloader, paste the link again, and download a new copy.
