How to Read Lumos Stories on a Boox E-Reader
You can read a Lumos story on a Boox e-reader by downloading the whole story as an EPUB or PDF with WP Downloader. Copy the file to your Boox over USB or open it from an app such as Google Drive. Boox devices run Android, so you can use the built-in reader or another Android reading app.
Download a Lumos story with WP Downloader
WP Downloader is a free web tool and does not require an installation. Open the Lumos downloader and copy the link for the story you want.
A Lumos story link looks like this:
http://lumos.sycophanthex.com/viewstory.php?sid=1234Paste the link into WP Downloader. It will detect that the story comes from Lumos and prepare it for download.
You do not need to sign in to Lumos. WP Downloader downloads the whole story from this archive, not a single chapter or a list of stories. Lumos stories are in English.
For a general walkthrough, see how to download Lumos stories.
Choose EPUB or PDF
WP Downloader has two output formats:
- EPUB is free for everyone and works on Boox e-readers.
- PDF requires a free Discord sign-in.
You can also include the story’s images. Choose your options, then download the finished file to your phone or computer.
WP Downloader does not create MOBI, AZW3, or TXT files. Boox e-readers can open EPUB and PDF files, so you do not need those formats for this guide.
Move the story to your Boox
You can copy the file over USB or open it from Google Drive.
Copy it over USB
If the EPUB or PDF is on your computer, connect your Boox e-reader with a USB cable. Copy the story file to the device, then disconnect the cable after the transfer finishes.
Open the file with the built-in reader or another Android reading app installed on your Boox.
Open it from Google Drive
Place the downloaded EPUB or PDF in Google Drive. Open the Google Drive app on your Boox and select the story file, then open it with the built-in reader or another Android reading app.
This method is useful if you downloaded the story on your phone or already keep your reading files in Google Drive.
Read the story offline
Once the EPUB or PDF is on your Boox, open it in your preferred reader. Because the story is stored as a file, you can read it offline without returning to the Lumos website for each chapter.
Keep the original Lumos link if the story is still being updated. WP Downloader cannot add new chapters to an EPUB you have already downloaded. Paste the story link into WP Downloader again and download a new copy to get the latest chapters.
If you use another e-reader, see the guides for sending Lumos stories to Kindle and reading Lumos stories on Kobo.
