How to Back Up Twilighted Stories for Personal Reading

Keep the copy for your own reading. Do not re-upload the story or share the downloaded file.

What the backup contains

An EPUB or PDF from WP Downloader is a snapshot of the version available at the time of download. It does not remain connected to Twilighted.

WP Downloader cannot add new chapters to an existing EPUB. If the author publishes another chapter or edits the story, download the complete story again. You can replace the earlier copy or keep both versions.

Adding the download date to the filename makes separate versions easier to identify. Store the files somewhere you will be able to find them instead of leaving every copy in your Downloads folder.

Keep a copy on your phone or tablet

Keep the original EPUB in your files after adding it to your preferred reading app. You can then move that copy to another device later.

You can also download the story as a PDF if you prefer that format. EPUB works with calibre, which can organize the story and convert it to another format when needed.

Organize backups with calibre

calibre is a free e-book manager for Windows, macOS and Linux. You can use it to keep downloaded stories in a personal library on your computer.

To add a story:

  1. Open calibre.
  2. Select “Add books.”
  3. Choose the EPUB you downloaded from WP Downloader.
  4. Check the title, author, cover and other metadata.
  5. Edit the metadata or cover if you want to make the story easier to identify.

calibre includes an e-book viewer for reading on your computer. The viewer also has a “Read aloud” feature.

If your device needs another format, calibre can convert an EPUB to AZW3, MOBI or PDF. WP Downloader does not create AZW3, MOBI or TXT files. calibre can also send books to a connected e-reader over USB.

Put the story on an e-reader

The transfer process depends on your device.

For an Amazon device, follow the guide to send Twilighted stories to Kindle. You can use calibre to convert the EPUB first if you need a different format.

For a Kobo device, see how to read Twilighted stories on Kobo. You can also connect an e-reader to your computer over USB and send the book from calibre.

Keep another copy of the original download on your computer or phone so the file is not stored only in a reading app or on one e-reader.

Update the backup

When a Twilighted story gets new chapters or edits, paste its URL into WP Downloader and download the complete story again. The earlier EPUB will not update automatically.

Replace the old file if you only want the newest version, or keep both copies with their download dates in the filenames.
