How to Read Unicorn Dreams Stories on a Barnes & Noble NOOK
To read a Unicorn Dreams story on a Barnes & Noble NOOK, download it as an EPUB with WP Downloader and copy the file to your NOOK over USB. Barnes & Noble calls copying your own files to a NOOK “sideloading.” The story will then be available for offline reading.
What you need
- The Unicorn Dreams story page open in your browser
- Access to WP Downloader’s Unicorn Dreams downloader
- A computer and a USB cable for your NOOK
- Your NOOK GlowLight
WP Downloader is a free web tool, and you do not need to install anything. Unicorn Dreams, also called Sinful Dreams, is hosted at sinful-dreams.com. Its story links usually look like this:
https://sinful-dreams.com/unicorn/fic/viewstory.php?sid=1234For this site, WP Downloader downloads whole stories. It cannot download individual chapters or story lists.
Step 1: Download the story as an EPUB
Open the story on sinful-dreams.com and copy its URL from the browser’s address bar.
Go to the Unicorn Dreams downloader, paste the story link into the box, and start the download. WP Downloader will detect the site and prepare the whole story.
Choose EPUB as the output format. EPUB is free for everyone and works with the NOOK. You can also choose to include the story’s images.
WP Downloader can create a PDF, but that format requires a free Discord sign-in. Choose EPUB for this guide.
You do not need to sign in for public stories. If a story is available only to members, you can sign in with your Unicorn Dreams account. WP Downloader uses your credentials only to fetch the story you requested and downloads only what your account can already read. It does not bypass paywalls, locked content, or age restrictions.
See how to download Unicorn Dreams stories for more help with the download.
Step 2: Connect the NOOK to your computer
Connect your NOOK GlowLight to the computer with a USB cable. It should appear as a drive named “NOOK.”
On newer models, you may need to enable file transfers first:
- Swipe down from the top of the NOOK screen.
- Tap “USB for charging.”
- Choose “Transfer files (MTP).”
Step 3: Copy the EPUB to your NOOK
Find the EPUB file you downloaded and open the NOOK drive on your computer. Drag the EPUB onto the device, then wait for the copy to finish.
The EPUB is now sideloaded onto your NOOK, without going through the Barnes & Noble store.
Step 4: Eject the NOOK
Eject the NOOK from your computer before unplugging the USB cable. You can then disconnect it and open the EPUB for offline reading.
Downloading new chapters later
WP Downloader cannot add new chapters to an EPUB you already have. When the author updates the story, return to the Unicorn Dreams downloader, paste the link again, and download a new EPUB.
Copy the new file to your NOOK using the same USB steps.
You can also read Unicorn Dreams stories on other e-readers. See the guides for sending Unicorn Dreams stories to Kindle and reading Unicorn Dreams stories on Kobo.
