How to Read Ad Astra Stories in Google Play Books
To read an Ad Astra story in Google Play Books, download it as an EPUB with WP Downloader and upload the file to your Play Books library. You can then read it on the web, Android, iPhone, or iPad.
WP Downloader is a free web tool, so you do not need to install anything.
Download an Ad Astra story as an EPUB
Find the story on adastrafanfic.com. Its URL should look like this:
https://www.adastrafanfic.com/works/123456Copy the full URL and open the Ad Astra story downloader. Paste the link into the box. WP Downloader will detect the site automatically.
Choose EPUB as the output format. EPUB downloads are free for everyone. You can also include the story’s images in the book.
For Ad Astra, WP Downloader downloads the whole story. It does not download individual chapters or lists of stories. If the author adds chapters later, download the story again to get a new EPUB. WP Downloader cannot update a file you already downloaded.
You do not need to sign in for public stories. If you connect your Ad Astra account, WP Downloader can also fetch members-only stories that your account is allowed to read. It uses your credentials only to fetch the story you request.
WP Downloader only downloads content that your account can already read. It cannot bypass paywalls, locked chapters, or age restrictions.

Upload the EPUB to Google Play Books
Google Play Books accepts DRM-free EPUB and PDF files. You can upload the EPUB in either of these ways:
- On the Google Play Books website, choose a file from your computer or Google Drive.
- In the Google Play Books Android app, upload the file from your device.
Once the upload finishes, the story will appear in your Play Books library.
Very large EPUB files may reach Google’s upload size limit. If that happens, download the story again without its images to make the file smaller.
Read the story on your device
After uploading the EPUB, open your Google Play Books library on the device you want to use.
On Android
Open the Google Play Books app, find the uploaded Ad Astra story in your library, and select its cover to start reading.
If the EPUB is still on your Android device, upload it through the app first.
On iPhone or iPad
Upload the EPUB through the Play Books website. Then open the Google Play Books app on your iPhone or iPad and find the story in your library.
On a computer
Open Google Play Books in your browser, go to your library, and select the uploaded story.
Choose EPUB or PDF
WP Downloader offers EPUB and PDF, and Google Play Books accepts both formats. EPUB is free for everyone. PDF requires a free Discord sign-in.
WP Downloader does not create MOBI, AZW3, or TXT files. For other reading devices, see the guides to send Ad Astra stories to Kindle or read Ad Astra stories on Kobo.
WP Downloader’s support for Ad Astra and other fiction archives was ported from FanFicFare, the open-source fanfiction downloader licensed under Apache-2.0.
