How to Read Fanfics.me Stories in KOReader
To read a Fanfics.me story in KOReader, download the whole story as an EPUB with WP Downloader. Then copy the file to your device and open it from KOReader’s file browser. The EPUB remains on your device for offline reading.
What you need
You will need:
- The Fanfics.me story link
- A device that runs KOReader
- A way to copy files to the device
Fanfics.me story URLs look like this:
https://fanfics.me/fic1234KOReader is a free, open-source document reader for Kobo, PocketBook, Android, and jailbroken Kindle devices. It opens EPUB and PDF files.
This guide assumes that KOReader is already on your device. Installing it on a Kobo or Kindle is a separate, unofficial process.
Step 1: Download the Fanfics.me story
Open the Fanfics.me downloader in your browser. WP Downloader is a free web tool, and there is nothing to install.
Paste the story URL into the box. WP Downloader will detect that the link comes from Fanfics.me and download the whole story. It cannot download a single chapter or a list from this site.
Fanfics.me stories are in Russian. Public stories do not require an account. You can optionally sign in with your Fanfics.me account to reach members-only stories that the account can already read. WP Downloader uses your credentials only to fetch the story you requested.
WP Downloader cannot bypass age restrictions or other access controls. It downloads only the content your account can already open.
See how to download Fanfics.me stories for more help with the download.
Step 2: Choose EPUB
Choose EPUB for KOReader. This format is free for everyone and opens directly in the app.
WP Downloader can also create a PDF with a free Discord sign-in. KOReader supports PDF, but you only need to download one format. You may also choose to include the story’s images.
WP Downloader does not create MOBI, AZW3, or TXT files.
Step 3: Copy the EPUB to your device
After the download finishes, find the EPUB on your phone or computer and copy it to the device where you use KOReader.
The transfer method depends on your device:
- Connect a Kobo, PocketBook, or compatible Kindle by USB and copy the EPUB onto it as usual.
- For Android, use your usual file-transfer method.
- If you downloaded the EPUB directly on Android, note which folder your browser saved it in.
You do not need to convert the EPUB first.
If you use Kobo’s standard reading software instead of KOReader, see how to read Fanfics.me stories on Kobo. Kindle users can follow the guide to sending Fanfics.me stories to Kindle.
Step 4: Open the story in KOReader
Open KOReader and use its file browser to find the folder containing the EPUB. Select the file to start reading.
Because the EPUB is stored on your device, you can read it offline without returning to the Fanfics.me page.
Getting new chapters later
WP Downloader cannot add new chapters to an EPUB you have already downloaded. When the author updates the story, return to the Fanfics.me downloader, paste the same link, and download the story again.
Copy the new EPUB to your device and open it from KOReader’s file browser.
