How to Read a Walking the Plank Story on a reMarkable Tablet

To read a Walking the Plank story on a reMarkable tablet, download the complete story with WP Downloader and transfer the EPUB or PDF file to your device. WP Downloader is a free browser-based tool, so there is nothing to install.

Download the story with WP Downloader

Find the story you want on walkingtheplank.org. Its URL should look like this:

http://www.walkingtheplank.org/archive/viewstory.php?sid=1234

Copy the story URL and follow these steps:

1. Open the Walking the Plank downloader.
2. Paste the story link into the box.
3. Wait while WP Downloader detects the site and collects the story.
4. Choose EPUB or PDF.
5. Choose whether to include the story’s images.
6. Download the finished file to your phone or computer.

EPUB is free for everyone. PDF requires a free Discord sign-in. reMarkable tablets support both formats.

You do not need a Walking the Plank account. For this archive, WP Downloader downloads whole stories only. It does not download individual chapters or lists. Support for Walking the Plank and the other fiction archives available through WPD was ported from FanFicFare, the open-source fanfiction downloader.

For more detail on downloading the file, see how to download Walking the Plank stories.

Transfer the story to your reMarkable

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

Use the reMarkable mobile or desktop app

If the EPUB or PDF is saved on your phone or computer:

1. Open the reMarkable app.
2. Use its file-adding option to select the downloaded story.
3. Send the EPUB or PDF to your reMarkable.
4. Open the story on the tablet when it appears.

Select the finished EPUB or PDF from your downloads, not the original Walking the Plank web link.

Transfer the file from a web browser

You can also use reMarkable’s browser-based file transfer:

1. Open the reMarkable web service in a browser.
2. Select the option to add or upload a file.
3. Choose the Walking the Plank EPUB or PDF from your device.
4. Complete the upload, then open the story on your tablet.

This option works well when the file is on a computer and you do not want to use the desktop app.

Transfer the file over USB

Connect the reMarkable tablet to your computer with a USB cable, then:

1. Open the tablet’s storage settings.
2. Turn on the USB web interface.
3. Open a browser on the connected computer.
4. Enter 10.11.99.1 in the address bar.
5. Use the interface to upload the EPUB or PDF.

The exact path to the USB web interface setting can differ between reMarkable software versions. If you cannot find it, check the tablet’s current storage settings.

Read the story offline

Once the transfer finishes, select the story from your reMarkable library. The EPUB or PDF is stored on the tablet, so you can read it without returning to the Walking the Plank website.

Keep the downloaded file if you may want to transfer it again. WP Downloader cannot add new chapters to an existing EPUB. If the author publishes more chapters, paste the story link into WPD again and download a new copy.

You can also send Walking the Plank stories to Kindle or read Walking the Plank stories on Kobo.
