What you need

- A device running KOReader
- A way to transfer the file, such as USB or Android file transfer
KOReader is a free, open-source document reader for Kobo, PocketBook, and Android devices. It also runs on Kindles that have been jailbroken. It opens EPUB and PDF files.
WP Downloader is a free web tool, so you do not need to install it.
Step 1: Copy the Chaos story link
Open the story on Chaos and copy its complete address from your browser. A story address looks like this:
http://chaos.sycophanthex.com/viewstory.php?sid=1234Make sure the address leads to a story page.
WP Downloader handles complete stories from Chaos. It cannot download a single chapter or a list of stories from this site.
Step 2: Download the story with WP Downloader
Open the Chaos story downloader and paste the story link into the box. WP Downloader will detect the site.
You do not need a Chaos account or sign-in. Choose EPUB to get a file that opens directly in KOReader. EPUB downloads are free for everyone.
You can include the story’s images if you want them in the book. PDF is also available and works in KOReader, but downloading one requires a free Discord sign-in.
WP Downloader does not produce MOBI, AZW3, or TXT files. KOReader already supports the available EPUB and PDF formats.
See how to download Chaos stories for more help with the download.
Step 3: Copy the EPUB to your device
Find the downloaded EPUB on your phone or computer, then transfer it to the device where you use KOReader.
Kobo or PocketBook
Connect the reader to your computer with USB. Copy the EPUB to the device as usual, then disconnect the reader safely.
Android
Move the EPUB to your Android device with your usual file transfer method. If the file is on a computer, you can use USB or Android file transfer.
Kindle
KOReader runs only on Kindles that have been jailbroken. Installing it is a separate, unofficial process and is not covered here. To use the standard Kindle reading software, follow the guide to send a Chaos story to Kindle.
Installing KOReader on Kobo is also a separate, unofficial process. Set it up before opening the EPUB. To use Kobo’s standard reading system instead, see how to read Chaos stories on Kobo.
Step 4: Open the story in KOReader
Open KOReader and go to its file browser. Find the folder containing the EPUB, select the file, and begin reading.
Because the book is stored on your device, you can read the complete English-language story offline without reopening the Chaos website.
If you downloaded a PDF, copy it to the device and open it from KOReader’s file browser in the same way.
Downloading new chapters later
WP Downloader cannot add new chapters to an existing EPUB. When the author updates the story, return to the Chaos downloader, paste the story link again, and download a new copy.
Transfer the new file to your device and open it in KOReader.
