How to read a FanFiktion.de story on a tolino eReader

To read a FanFiktion.de story on a tolino eReader, download it as an EPUB with WP Downloader and copy the file to the Books folder on your tolino. EPUB downloads are free, and WP Downloader does not need to be installed.

Download the story as an EPUB

Open the story on fanfiktion.de and copy its address from your browser. A story link looks like this:

https://www.fanfiktion.de/s/46ccbef30000616306614050

Then:

1. Open the FanFiktion.de downloader.
2. Paste the story link into the box.
3. Choose EPUB as the output format.
4. Choose whether to include the story’s images.
5. Start the download and save the EPUB to your computer.

EPUB is free for everyone and works on tolino eReaders. WP Downloader can also create a PDF after a free Discord sign-in, but you need the EPUB for these steps.

For FanFiktion.de, WP Downloader downloads the whole story. It cannot download a single chapter or a list. If the author publishes more chapters, download the story again to create an updated EPUB. WP Downloader cannot add chapters to a file you already downloaded.

Members-only stories

You can use the downloader without signing in for stories that are available publicly. If a story is restricted to members, sign in with your FanFiktion.de account.

WP Downloader can fetch only the content that your account is allowed to read. It cannot bypass locked content, paywalls, or age restrictions. Your credentials are used only to fetch the story you requested.

FanFiktion.de support was ported from FanFicFare, the open-source fanfiction downloader. Stories from FanFiktion.de are written in German and remain in German in the downloaded book.

Transfer the EPUB to your tolino

Connect the tolino to your computer with its USB-C cable, then wait for the computer to detect it.

The tolino vision 6, shine 4, and epos 3 use MTP for USB transfers, so your computer may show the reader as a connected device instead of a regular removable drive. Open the device in your file browser and find the Books folder.

1. Connect the tolino to your computer with the USB-C cable.
2. Wait for your computer to detect the reader, then open it.
3. Find the Books folder.
4. Copy the downloaded EPUB into that folder.
5. Wait for the copy to finish completely.
6. Disconnect the reader safely.

Do not unplug the cable while the file is copying. An interrupted transfer can leave the file incomplete.

Read the story on your tolino

Once the transfer has finished, disconnect the tolino and open its library. The story should appear as a book that you can read offline.

Keep the original EPUB on your computer if you may want to transfer it again. If the story does not appear on the tolino, reconnect the reader and make sure the EPUB is in the Books folder. Also check that the file finished copying before you disconnected the device.
