How to Read Walking the Plank Stories on a Boox E-reader
To read a Walking the Plank story on a Boox e-reader, download it as an EPUB or PDF with WP Downloader, copy the file to your Boox, and open it in a reading app. WP Downloader is a free web tool, so you do not need to install anything.
Download the story
Find the story on walkingtheplank.org. Its address should look like this:
http://www.walkingtheplank.org/archive/viewstory.php?sid=1234Copy the address and open the Walking the Plank downloader. Paste the address into the box, and WP Downloader will detect the site.
You do not need to sign in for Walking the Plank. The downloader saves the whole story rather than an individual chapter or a list of stories.
Choose a file format:
- EPUB is free for everyone and works in Boox reading apps.
- PDF requires a free Discord sign-in.
You can also choose whether to include the story’s images. Download the file and save it somewhere easy to find, such as your Downloads folder.
WP Downloader does not create MOBI, AZW3, or TXT files. It also cannot add new chapters to an EPUB you already downloaded. If the story changes, download it again to make a new copy.

Move the file to your Boox
Boox e-readers run Android. You can copy the EPUB or PDF over USB or open it from Google Drive.
Copy it over USB
Connect your Boox to your computer with a USB cable. Copy the downloaded EPUB or PDF to the Boox, then disconnect the device after the transfer finishes.
Find the file on your Boox and open it in the built-in reader. You can store it in any folder you will remember.
Open it from Google Drive
Place the EPUB or PDF in Google Drive, then open Google Drive on your Boox. Find the file and open it from there.
This option is handy when the story was downloaded on another device and you do not want to use a USB connection.
Open the story in a reading app
The built-in Boox reader supports EPUB and PDF files. Tap the transferred file and select that reader if your device asks which app to use.
Since Boox runs Android, you can also install another Android reading app that supports your chosen format.
EPUB is the simpler choice if you only want to read the story. PDF also works, though WP Downloader requires a free Discord sign-in before you can download one.
Once the file is on your Boox, you can keep that copy available for offline reading.
Get updated chapters
The downloaded file contains the version of the story that was available when you created it. WP Downloader does not update the file automatically or insert later chapters into it.
To get newer chapters, return to the story page and download the whole story again. Move the new EPUB or PDF to your Boox and open that copy.
WP Downloader only saves content that your account can already read. It does not bypass locked material, paywalls, or age restrictions.
Support for Walking the Plank and the other fiction archives on the supported sites page was ported from FanFicFare, the open-source fanfiction downloader.
