Add Star Trek Fan Fiction Stories to Calibre
To add a Star Trek Fan Fiction story to calibre, download it as an EPUB with WP Downloader and import the file into your calibre library. Both tools are free. WP Downloader runs in your browser, so you do not need to install it.
Download the story with WP Downloader
Open the story on trekfanfiction.net. Its address should look like this:
https://trekfanfiction.net/writer/a-story-name/Copy the full story link, then:
- Open the Star Trek Fan Fiction downloader.
- Paste the story link into the box.
- Choose whether to include the story’s images.
- Download the story as an EPUB.
You do not need to sign in. WP Downloader can download whole stories from Star Trek Fan Fiction, but it cannot download individual chapters or story lists from this site.
EPUB downloads are available to everyone. PDF downloads require a free Discord sign-in. For calibre, download the EPUB and add it directly to your library. You can convert it to another e-book format later if needed.
Support for Star Trek Fan Fiction was ported from FanFicFare, the open-source fanfiction downloader licensed under Apache-2.0.
See the Star Trek Fan Fiction download guide for more help with these steps.
Add the EPUB to calibre
calibre is a free e-book manager for Windows, macOS, and Linux. After downloading the EPUB, open calibre and select “Add books.”
Find and open the downloaded file. The story will appear in your calibre library, where you can view its metadata or open it in calibre’s e-book viewer.
You can add more downloaded stories to the same library and manage them together.
Edit the metadata and cover
calibre lets you edit a book’s metadata and cover. After importing the story, you can review or change its:
- Title
- Author
- Cover
- Other metadata fields
Using consistent titles and author names can make stories from different fiction archives easier to manage. You can also replace or edit the cover in calibre.
These changes apply to the copy in your calibre library. They do not alter the story on trekfanfiction.net.
Read the story in calibre
Select the story in your library and open it in calibre’s e-book viewer. You can read the downloaded EPUB on your computer or use the viewer’s “Read aloud” feature to listen to it.
Convert the EPUB
WP Downloader does not create MOBI, AZW3, or TXT files. To use another format, add the EPUB to calibre and convert it there.
calibre can convert the EPUB to formats such as:
- AZW3
- MOBI
Select the story, open calibre’s conversion tool, and choose the format you need. You can keep the original EPUB in your library if you want to convert it again later.
For instructions for a particular device, see sending Star Trek Fan Fiction stories to Kindle or reading Star Trek Fan Fiction stories on Kobo.
Send the story to an e-reader
calibre can send books to an e-reader connected to your computer over USB.
Connect the e-reader, select the imported story, and use calibre’s send-to-device option. If the device does not support EPUB, use calibre to convert the story to a supported format before transferring it.
Download the story again when it changes
WP Downloader cannot add new chapters to an EPUB already in calibre. If the author publishes more chapters, download the whole story again and add the new EPUB to your library.
Review its title, author, cover, and other metadata, then decide whether to keep both copies or remove the older one after checking the new file.
