How to Send a SciFiStories Story to Kindle
To send a SciFiStories story to 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.
What you need
Before you start, you will need:
- The SciFiStories story link
- An account on scifistories.com
- Access to your Kindle library
- WP Downloader, a free browser-based tool with nothing to install
A SciFiStories story URL looks like this:
https://scifistories.com/s/1234/story-titleWP Downloader handles whole SciFiStories stories. It cannot download individual chapters or story lists from this site.
Step 1: Download the SciFiStories story
Open the SciFiStories downloader and paste the story link into the box.
Sign in with your SciFiStories account when prompted. WP Downloader uses your credentials only to retrieve the story you requested, and it can download only content your account can already read. It cannot bypass locked content, paywalls, or age restrictions.
Choose EPUB as the output format. EPUB downloads are free for everyone, and Amazon accepts the format through Send to Kindle. You can also include the story’s images in the book.
PDF is available with a free Discord sign-in. Send to Kindle accepts both EPUB and PDF files.
Save the finished file somewhere you can find it easily. For more details, see How to download SciFiStories stories.
Step 2: Send the EPUB to Kindle
You can send the file through the Send to Kindle website or app, or by email.
Use Send to Kindle on the web
Open Amazon’s Send to Kindle page in your browser and select the EPUB you downloaded. Amazon converts the file and adds the story to your Kindle library.
Use the Send to Kindle app
Open the Send to Kindle app, choose the downloaded EPUB, and send it to your Kindle library. Once Amazon has processed the file, you can open the story on a Kindle e-reader or in the Kindle app.
Email the EPUB to your Kindle
Attach the EPUB to an email and send it to your Kindle’s Send-to-Kindle email address.
You must send the message from an approved email address. Amazon will not deliver a file sent from an address that has not been approved for your Kindle account.
See the Send to Kindle guide for more information about these delivery methods.
Step 3: Open the story
Once Amazon has converted the EPUB, open your library on a Kindle e-reader or in the Kindle app and select the story.
The Kindle book will not update when SciFiStories adds new chapters. WP Downloader cannot add chapters to an existing EPUB, so you will need to download the whole story again and send the new file to your Kindle library.
You can also follow the guide to reading SciFiStories stories offline. If you use a Kobo device, see the SciFiStories Kobo guide.
