How to Send SpaceBattles Stories to Kindle
To send a SpaceBattles 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, where you can open it on a Kindle e-reader or in the Kindle app.
Step 1: Copy the SpaceBattles story link
Open the story thread on forums.spacebattles.com or forum.spacebattles.com and copy its URL. A SpaceBattles story link usually looks like this:
https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/some-story-name.123456/ Copy the main thread link instead of a link to an individual post. SpaceBattles stories are forum threads, and WP Downloader gathers the threadmarked chapters into one book.
You do not need to sign in to SpaceBattles.
Step 2: Download the story with WP Downloader
Open the SpaceBattles downloader, paste the story link into the box, and let WP Downloader prepare the threadmarked story.
Select EPUB, which is free for everyone and works with Send to Kindle. You can also choose whether to include the story’s images.
For SpaceBattles, WP Downloader downloads the whole story. It cannot download a single chapter or a list of threads. See how to download a SpaceBattles story for a more detailed guide.
You can also download a PDF after signing in with a free Discord account. EPUB is usually the simpler choice for Kindle because Amazon converts it and adds it to your library.
WP Downloader does not create MOBI or AZW3 files. They are not needed here because Send to Kindle accepts EPUB and no longer accepts MOBI.
Step 3: Send the EPUB to Kindle
After downloading the EPUB, add it to your Kindle library using one of these methods:
- Upload it through Send to Kindle on the web.
- Use the Send to Kindle app.
- Email it to your Kindle’s Send-to-Kindle address.
When using the web service or app, select the EPUB from WP Downloader and submit it.
To send the file by email, attach it to a message addressed to your Kindle’s Send-to-Kindle email address. You must send the message from an email account on your approved sender list. Amazon will not deliver files from an unapproved address.
The Send to Kindle guide explains each delivery method in more detail.
Step 4: Open the story on your Kindle
Once Amazon has converted the EPUB, the story appears in your Kindle library. You can open it on a Kindle e-reader or in the Kindle app.
The book contains the threadmarked chapters in one file, so you can read through the story without moving between separate forum posts. You can also read a SpaceBattles story offline.
For a Kobo device, use the guide to reading SpaceBattles stories on Kobo.
Downloading new chapters later
WP Downloader cannot update an EPUB already in your Kindle library. When the SpaceBattles thread gets new threadmarked chapters, download the whole story again.
Send the new EPUB through Send to Kindle using the same method as before.
