How to Read The Sietch Stories on a reMarkable Tablet

To read a story from The Sietch on a reMarkable tablet, download it as an EPUB or PDF with WP Downloader and transfer the file through a reMarkable app, a web browser, or USB. WP Downloader is a free web tool, so you do not need to install anything.

Download the story with WP Downloader

Stories on the-sietch.com are published as forum threads. WP Downloader collects a thread’s threadmarked chapters into one book.

1. Open the The Sietch downloader.
2. Copy the URL of the story thread.
3. Paste the URL into the downloader box.
4. Choose whether to include the story’s images.
5. Download the story as an EPUB or PDF.

A typical story address looks like this:

https://www.the-sietch.com/index.php?threads/some-story-name.123456/

EPUB downloads are free for everyone. PDF downloads require a free Discord sign-in. reMarkable tablets support both formats.

For The Sietch, WP Downloader downloads the whole story. It cannot download a single chapter or a list. If the author adds chapters later, paste the link into WP Downloader again and download a new copy. The tool cannot add new chapters to an existing EPUB.

Members-only stories

Public stories do not require a The Sietch account. You can sign in with an account from the site to download members-only stories that the account can already read.

WP Downloader uses your credentials only to fetch the story you requested. It does not bypass locked content, paywalls, or age restrictions.

Support for The Sietch and the other archive sites in WP Downloader was ported from FanFicFare, the open-source fanfiction downloader licensed under Apache-2.0.

Transfer the EPUB or PDF to your reMarkable

reMarkable tablets accept EPUB and PDF files up to 100 MB. You can transfer the downloaded book with the reMarkable mobile or desktop app, through a web browser, or over USB.

Use the reMarkable mobile or desktop app

Download the story file to your phone or computer, then import it with the reMarkable mobile or desktop app. Once the file has transferred, open it from the files on your reMarkable.

Upload it from a web browser

Download the EPUB or PDF from WP Downloader to your phone or computer. Open reMarkable in a web browser and upload the file to your tablet. Wait for the transfer to finish before opening the book on your reMarkable.

Transfer it over USB

Connect your reMarkable tablet to your computer with a USB cable. Turn on the USB web interface in the tablet’s storage settings, then open this address in a browser on the connected computer:

10.11.99.1

Use the page that opens to upload the EPUB or PDF. The location of the USB web interface setting can vary between reMarkable software versions.

Open the story and read offline

After the transfer finishes, find the book in your reMarkable files and open it. The threadmarked chapters will appear together in the downloaded book, so you can read them without returning to the forum thread.

You can keep the downloaded file on your phone or computer as a backup. When the story gains new chapters, download it again with WP Downloader and transfer the new file to your reMarkable.

WP Downloader also has guides for sending stories from The Sietch to Kindle and reading stories from The Sietch on Kobo.
