How to Read AlternateHistory.com Stories on a Boox E-Reader

To read an AlternateHistory.com story on a Boox e-reader, download the thread as an EPUB or PDF with WP Downloader and move the file to your device. EPUB is free for everyone and works with the built-in Boox reader.

Download the story with WP Downloader

AlternateHistory.com stories are published as forum threads. A story link looks like this:

https://www.alternatehistory.com/forum/threads/some-story-name.123456/

WP Downloader collects the threadmarked chapters and combines them into one book, so you do not have to copy the chapters or forum posts yourself.

To download a story:

1. Open the AlternateHistory.com downloader.
2. Copy the story thread URL from alternatehistory.com.
3. Paste the URL into the box.
4. Choose EPUB or PDF.
5. Choose whether to include the story’s images.
6. Download the file to your phone or computer.

WP Downloader is a free web tool, and there is nothing to install. Anyone can download an EPUB. Creating a PDF requires a free Discord sign-in.

The AlternateHistory.com downloader handles whole stories only. It cannot download a single chapter or a list of stories.

Choose EPUB or PDF for your Boox

Boox e-readers run Android and can open EPUB and PDF files in their built-in reader. You can also install other Android reading apps.

EPUB is available without signing in to WP Downloader. If you prefer PDF, you will need to sign in with Discord before creating the file.

WP Downloader does not create MOBI, AZW3, or TXT files. A Boox can open the available EPUB and PDF formats directly.

Move the downloaded story to your Boox

You can copy the EPUB or PDF to your Boox over USB or open it through Google Drive.

Copy it over USB

If the file is on your computer, connect your Boox with a USB cable and copy the file to the device. Find it on your Boox and open it with the built-in reader or another reading app you have installed.

Open it from Google Drive

You can save the file to Google Drive and open it through the app on your Boox. This is useful if you downloaded the story on your phone or prefer not to connect the e-reader to a computer.

The file contains the threadmarked chapters in one book, ready to read offline.

Members-only AlternateHistory.com stories

You do not need an AlternateHistory.com account for public stories. Signing in is optional and lets WP Downloader fetch members-only stories that your account has permission to read.

WP Downloader uses your account credentials only to fetch the story you requested. It can download only what your account can already read. It does not bypass membership restrictions, paywalls, locked chapters, or age restrictions.

Getting newly posted chapters

An EPUB or PDF already on your Boox will not update when the author posts another chapter. Download the story again to get the newly available threadmarked chapters.

The new file will contain the complete story available at the time of the download. Move it to your Boox over USB or through Google Drive.
