How to Read Comic Fanfiction Authors Archive Stories on a Flight

Download your Comic Fanfiction Authors Archive story while you still have internet, save it as an EPUB or PDF, and open it on your device before the flight. Once the file is stored on the device, you can read it without Wi-Fi.

Download the story before your flight

WP Downloader is a free web tool, with nothing to install. Start from the Comic Fanfiction Authors Archive downloader or paste the story link into the box on the WP Downloader home page.

A Comic Fanfiction Authors Archive story link looks like this:

https://www.cfaarchive.org/works/123456

To prepare a story for offline reading:

1. Open WP Downloader while you have an internet connection.
2. Paste the Comic Fanfiction Authors Archive story URL into the box.
3. Sign in to your cfaarchive.org account if the story is available only to members. You can skip this for stories that do not require an account.
4. Choose EPUB or PDF. EPUB is free for everyone, while PDF requires a free Discord sign-in.
5. Choose whether to include the story’s images.
6. Download the finished file to the device you will take on the flight.

WP Downloader can only download stories that your account is allowed to read. It does not bypass membership restrictions, age restrictions, or other locked access.

For Comic Fanfiction Authors Archive, WPD downloads the whole story. It cannot download a single chapter or a list of stories. If the author adds new chapters later, download the story again. WPD cannot update an existing EPUB.

Support for this archive was ported from FanFicFare, the open-source fanfiction downloader.

Choose EPUB or PDF

EPUB works in compatible ebook apps and can be sent to Kindle. Choose PDF if you prefer that format or already use a PDF-reading app.

WP Downloader does not create MOBI, AZW3, or TXT files. You do not need MOBI for Kindle. Amazon’s Send to Kindle accepts EPUB and PDF, and converts EPUB files for your Kindle library.

Save and open your chosen file before you lose internet access.

Read on a phone or tablet

If you are reading an EPUB, open it in an app that supports EPUB files. For a PDF, use a PDF reader. Open the downloaded file in that app while you are still online to confirm that the download finished and the app can access it.

Next, turn on airplane mode and open the story again. The EPUB or PDF does not need an internet connection once it is stored on your device.

Do not depend on leaving the original cfaarchive.org page open in a browser. Use the downloaded book file for offline reading.

Read on a Kindle

Download the EPUB or PDF, then send it to your Kindle before the flight. Delivery requires an internet connection, although the downloaded book can be read offline afterward.

Amazon provides three ways to use Send to Kindle:

• Email the file to your Kindle’s Send-to-Kindle address.
• Use the Send to Kindle app.
• Upload the file through Send to Kindle on the web.

When sending by email, your sending address must be on the approved sender list. Amazon converts EPUB files and adds the books to your Kindle library. They can then appear on Kindle e-readers and in the Kindle app.

Send to Kindle no longer accepts MOBI files, so use EPUB instead. See the full Send to Kindle guide or the CFA Archive Kindle guide for instructions.

Before you leave, open the book on the Kindle or Kindle app you plan to use. Switch the device to airplane mode and make sure the story still opens.

Read on a Kobo

Download the EPUB from WP Downloader and put it on your Kobo while you still have internet access. Open the book on the Kobo before your trip to confirm that it is available on the device.

See how to read CFA Archive stories on Kobo for archive-specific instructions.

Check your book before the flight

Before heading to the airport:

• Download the entire story as EPUB or PDF.
• Save or deliver it to the device you are taking.
• Open the book in your reading app.
• Turn on airplane mode.
• Close and reopen the story.
• Check that any included images appear as expected.

If the story opens during this test, it will be available without Wi-Fi on the flight.

Choose EPUB for a compatible ebook app or Kindle. Choose PDF if you prefer a PDF reader. Both formats work offline after you download the file.
