How to Read JoyRead Stories in the Kindle App
To read a JoyRead story in the Kindle app, download it as an EPUB with WP Downloader and send the file to your Kindle library. WP Downloader is a free web tool, so you do not need to install anything.
Download the JoyRead story as an EPUB
Copy the story link from joyread.com. A JoyRead story URL looks like this:
https://www.joyread.com/15233-Dink-Husbands-Twin-Secret Then:
- Open the JoyRead Downloader.
- Paste the story link into the box.
- Choose EPUB as the output format.
- Choose whether to include the story’s images.
- Download the EPUB.
EPUB downloads are free for everyone and work with Amazon’s Send to Kindle service. WP Downloader can also create a PDF, which requires a free Discord sign-in.
WP Downloader downloads the entire JoyRead story. It cannot download individual chapters or reading lists. If the author publishes more chapters later, you will need to download the story again. WP Downloader cannot add new chapters to an existing EPUB.
You can sign in to your JoyRead account if you need to access a members-only story. WP Downloader includes paid or locked chapters only if your account can already read them. It cannot bypass paywalls, locked chapters, or other access restrictions.
See How to Download JoyRead Stories for more help with the download.
Send the EPUB to your Kindle library
After saving the EPUB, send it to Kindle in any of these ways:
- Upload it through Send to Kindle on the web.
- Share it through the Send to Kindle app.
- Email it to your Kindle’s Send-to-Kindle address.
Amazon accepts EPUB and PDF files through Send to Kindle. It converts the EPUB and adds the book to your Kindle library, making it available on Kindle e-readers and in the Kindle app.
Use the EPUB file without converting it to MOBI. Send to Kindle no longer accepts MOBI files, and WP Downloader does not create MOBI or AZW3 files.
If you send the file by email, you must use an approved sender email address. See the Send to Kindle guide for details about each transfer method, or follow the JoyRead instructions in How to Send JoyRead Stories to Kindle.
Open the story in the Kindle app
Once Amazon has processed the EPUB, open the Kindle app and go to your library. Tap the JoyRead story to begin reading.
If the book does not appear, check that Send to Kindle accepted the EPUB. For email transfers, make sure you sent the message from an approved address.
Get an updated copy
WP Downloader creates an EPUB from the chapters available when you submit the story link. It cannot update an EPUB that is already in your Kindle library.
When a JoyRead story has new chapters:
- Paste the story link into WP Downloader again.
- Download a new EPUB.
- Send the new file to your Kindle library.
The new copy will contain the chapters that your JoyRead account can currently read.
