How to Read FicWad Stories on a Kobo

To read a FicWad story on a Kobo, download the complete story as an EPUB with WP Downloader and transfer the file to your e-reader. Kobo devices open EPUB files directly, so you do not need to convert the book.

Download the FicWad story as an EPUB

WP Downloader is a free web tool that does not require installation. Open the FicWad story you want to download and copy its full URL. FicWad story links follow this format:

https://ficwad.com/story/1234

Once you have the link:

1. Open the FicWad downloader.
2. Paste the story URL into the box.
3. Wait while WP Downloader detects FicWad and fetches the story.
4. Select EPUB as the output format.
5. Choose whether to include the story’s images.
6. Download the EPUB to your phone or computer.

For FicWad, WP Downloader downloads complete stories. It does not support individual chapters or story lists.

You can download FicWad stories without signing in. If a story is available only to members, sign in with your FicWad account to download it. WP Downloader can access only the stories your account is already allowed to read, and it uses your credentials only to fetch the story you requested. It cannot bypass locked content or account restrictions.

The FicWad download guide covers this process in more detail.

FicWad support was ported from FanFicFare, an open-source fanfiction downloader licensed under Apache-2.0.

Transfer the EPUB by USB

After downloading the EPUB to your computer:

1. Connect the Kobo to the computer with a USB cable.
2. Wait for the Kobo to appear as a drive.
3. Open the Kobo drive.
4. Copy the EPUB onto it.
5. Eject the Kobo safely.
6. Disconnect the cable.

The FicWad story will appear in your Kobo library, where you can open it like any other book.

If you downloaded the EPUB to your phone, first move it to a computer so you can copy it to the Kobo by USB.

Transfer the EPUB with Dropbox

Kobo can import non-protected EPUB and PDF files from Dropbox on the following models:

• Kobo Forma
• Kobo Sage
• Kobo Elipsa
• Kobo Elipsa 2E
• Kobo Libra Colour

This option requires Kobo software version 4.18 or later.

Link your Dropbox account from the Kobo, place the FicWad EPUB in the connected cloud folder, and sync the e-reader. The story will then appear in the library on that Kobo.

Books imported through Dropbox appear only on the device where you added them.

Transfer the EPUB with Google Drive

Google Drive works on the same Kobo models:

• Kobo Forma
• Kobo Sage
• Kobo Elipsa
• Kobo Elipsa 2E
• Kobo Libra Colour

This option requires Kobo software version 4.37 or later.

On the Kobo home screen, go to More, select My Google Drive, and then select Get Started. The Kobo will display a code. Enter that code on the Kobo website to link your account.

Put the EPUB in the connected Google Drive folder and sync the Kobo. The story will appear in the library after the sync finishes. Books imported from Google Drive appear only on the device where you added them.

Choose a transfer method

USB works with any Kobo and is the simplest choice when the EPUB is already on your computer.

Dropbox and Google Drive let you transfer the file through cloud storage, but they work only on the supported Kobo models and software versions listed above.

Whichever method you use, download the FicWad story as an EPUB. Kobo opens the format directly without an extra conversion step.
