KOReader is a free, open-source document reader for Kobo, PocketBook, and Android devices. It also runs on Kindles that have been jailbroken and can open both EPUB and PDF files.
Comic Fanfiction Authors Archive stories are in English. A story address usually looks like this:
https://www.cfaarchive.org/works/123456Use the address of the story itself, since WP Downloader does not download individual chapters or lists from this archive.
Step 1: Download the story with WP Downloader
Open the CFA Archive Downloader and paste the story link into the box. WP Downloader recognizes the cfaarchive.org link and downloads the whole story.
Choose EPUB for KOReader. EPUB is free for everyone. WP Downloader also creates PDF files, though PDF requires a free Discord sign-in. To keep the story’s pictures in the book, select the option to include images.
WP Downloader does not create MOBI, AZW3, or TXT files.
You can download public stories without signing in. Signing in to your Comic Fanfiction Authors Archive account lets WP Downloader reach members-only stories that the account can already read. It uses your credentials only to fetch the story you requested and does not bypass access restrictions.
Save the finished EPUB somewhere easy to find. The complete CFA Archive download guide has more information about downloading the file.
Step 2: Copy the EPUB to your device
Connect your reading device to the computer or phone where you saved the EPUB.
For a Kobo or PocketBook, copy the file over USB as usual. On Android, use your usual Android file-transfer method. Put the EPUB in a folder that you can find through KOReader’s file browser.
Disconnect the device normally once the transfer is complete.
On a jailbroken Kindle, copy the EPUB with your usual file-transfer method. Installing KOReader on Kobo or Kindle is a separate, unofficial process. This guide assumes that KOReader is already installed and working.
To use your device’s regular reading setup instead, follow the Kobo guide or Kindle guide.
Step 3: Open the story in KOReader
Open KOReader and go to its file browser. Find the folder containing the EPUB and select the file to start reading.
The story is stored on your device, so you can read it in KOReader without returning to the archive each time. Keep the original EPUB if you might want to copy it to another device later.
Getting newly published chapters
WP Downloader cannot add new chapters to an EPUB you already downloaded. When the author updates the story, return to the CFA Archive Downloader, paste the link again, and download a new copy.
Copy the new EPUB to your device and open it in KOReader. You can replace the older file or keep both copies.
