How to Send a Syosetu Story to Kindle
To send a Shousetsuka ni Narou story to Kindle, first download it as an EPUB with WP Downloader. You can then 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.
What you need
You will need:
- The Shousetsuka ni Narou story link
- WP Downloader, a free browser-based tool
- Access to Send to Kindle
- A Kindle e-reader or the Kindle app
A Shousetsuka ni Narou story URL usually looks like this:
https://ncode.syosetu.com/n1234ab/WP Downloader supports stories from ncode.syosetu.com and novel18.syosetu.com. You do not need to sign in.
Step 1: Download the Syosetu story as an EPUB
Open the Syosetu story downloader and paste the story URL into the download box. WP Downloader detects the site and prepares the story.
Select EPUB as the output format. EPUB is free for everyone and works with Send to Kindle. You can also choose whether to include the story’s images.
For Shousetsuka ni Narou, WP Downloader downloads the whole story. It cannot download a single chapter or a story list from this site. The downloaded story remains in Japanese.
You can also download a PDF, but that format requires a free Discord sign-in. Send to Kindle accepts EPUB and PDF files.

Step 2: Send the EPUB to Kindle
You can add the EPUB to Kindle in any of these ways:
- 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 Send to Kindle on the web or in the app
Open Send to Kindle on the web or in the app, select the EPUB from WP Downloader, and submit it.
Amazon converts the file and adds the book to your Kindle library. The Send to Kindle guide covers each transfer method in more detail.
Send the EPUB by email
Attach the EPUB to an email and send it to your Kindle’s Send-to-Kindle address.
You must send the message from an approved email address. Amazon will reject the file if the sender is not approved for your Kindle account. After Amazon processes the EPUB, the story appears in your Kindle library.
There is no need to convert the EPUB to MOBI. Send to Kindle no longer accepts MOBI files.
Step 3: Open the story on your Kindle
After Amazon converts the EPUB, open your library on a Kindle e-reader or in the Kindle app. The Shousetsuka ni Narou story will appear as a book.
If you use both, open the Kindle library on the device where you want to read the story.
Getting newer chapters
WP Downloader cannot add new chapters to an EPUB you have already downloaded. When the author publishes more chapters, return to the Syosetu story downloader, paste the link again, and download a new copy.
Send the new EPUB to Kindle in the same way. The guide to reading Syosetu stories offline covers other ways to keep a copy of a story. If you use Kobo, see reading Syosetu stories on Kobo.
