How to Send a FicWad Story to Kindle
To send a FicWad story to your Kindle, download it as an EPUB with WP Downloader and upload the file through Amazon’s Send to Kindle service. Amazon converts the EPUB and adds the book to your Kindle library. You can then read it on a Kindle e-reader or in the Kindle app.
Step 1: Copy the FicWad story link
Open the story on ficwad.com and copy its address from your browser. FicWad story links look like this:
https://ficwad.com/story/1234Copy the main story address. WP Downloader downloads complete FicWad stories, not individual chapters or story lists.
Step 2: Download the EPUB
Open the FicWad downloader in your browser. WP Downloader is a free web tool, so you do not need to install anything.
Paste the FicWad link into the box. WP Downloader will detect the site automatically. Select EPUB as the output format, then choose whether to include the story’s images. EPUB downloads are free for everyone.
Save the finished file somewhere easy to find, such as your phone’s downloads folder or your computer’s usual download location.
FicWad stories are in English. Public stories can be downloaded without an account. Signing in with your FicWad account also lets WP Downloader reach members-only stories that your account can read. Your credentials are used only to fetch the story you requested. WP Downloader cannot bypass access restrictions or download anything your account is not allowed to read.
See how to download a FicWad story for more details.
Step 3: Add the EPUB to Kindle
Amazon provides three ways to send the EPUB to your Kindle library:
- Upload it through Send to Kindle on the web.
- Add it through the Send to Kindle app.
- Email it to your Kindle’s Send-to-Kindle address.
Use the method that suits the device where you saved the file. Select or attach the EPUB, then submit it to Send to Kindle.
Files emailed to your Kindle address must come from an approved sender email address.
You do not need to convert the EPUB yourself. Amazon accepts EPUB files and converts them before adding the story to your library. Send to Kindle no longer accepts MOBI files, and WP Downloader does not create MOBI or AZW3 files.
The Send to Kindle guide covers each delivery method in more detail.
Step 4: Read the story
Once Amazon has processed the file, the story will appear in your Kindle library. Open it on a Kindle e-reader or in the Kindle app.
The file contains the complete story as it appeared when you downloaded it. WP Downloader cannot add new chapters to an existing EPUB. If the author publishes another chapter, download the story again and send the new file to Kindle.
For other ways to keep a copy, see reading FicWad stories offline. If you use another e-reader, the guide to reading FicWad stories on Kobo explains that option.
WP Downloader’s support for FicWad and other fiction archives was ported from FanFicFare, an open-source fanfiction downloader licensed under Apache-2.0.
