How to read CFA Archive stories in Google Play Books
To read a Comic Fanfiction Authors Archive story in Google Play Books, download it as an EPUB or PDF with WP Downloader and upload the file to Play Books. You can then read it on the web, Android, iPhone, or iPad.
Download the story with WP Downloader
WP Downloader is a free web tool, so you do not need to install anything. Open the Comic Fanfiction Authors Archive downloader and copy the link for the story you want to save.
The link should look like this:
https://www.cfaarchive.org/works/123456Paste the link into WP Downloader. It will detect cfaarchive.org and prepare the complete story for download.
You can choose between these formats:
- EPUB is free for everyone.
- PDF works with Google Play Books but requires a free Discord sign-in to download.
You can also include the story’s images. When the file is ready, save it somewhere you can easily find it.
WP Downloader downloads complete stories from Comic Fanfiction Authors Archive. It cannot download a single chapter or a story list. It also cannot update an existing EPUB, so download the story again when you want a copy with newly available chapters.
