How to Read Lumos Stories on a reMarkable Tablet

You can read a Lumos story on a reMarkable tablet by downloading the complete story as an EPUB or PDF with WP Downloader. Transfer the file through the reMarkable desktop or mobile app, a web browser, or a USB connection.

WP Downloader is a free web tool, and you do not need to install anything.

Download a Lumos story with WP Downloader

Open the story on lumos.sycophanthex.com. Its address should look like this:

http://lumos.sycophanthex.com/viewstory.php?sid=1234

Copy the full address of the story page from your browser. Avoid copying the Lumos home page or another general page.

Open the Lumos downloader, paste the story link into the box, and download the story. WP Downloader will recognize the site automatically. You do not need to sign in to Lumos.

For Lumos, WP Downloader downloads the complete story. It cannot download a single chapter or a story list. You can still open the complete book on your reMarkable and go to the chapter you want.

Choose EPUB or PDF

WP Downloader offers two formats supported by reMarkable tablets:

• EPUB is free for everyone.
• PDF requires a free Discord sign-in.

You can choose whether to include the story’s images. Images can increase the file size, and reMarkable supports EPUB and PDF files up to 100 MB.

WP Downloader does not create MOBI, AZW3, or TXT files. These formats are unnecessary for a reMarkable because the tablet accepts EPUB and PDF files.

After the download finishes, save the file somewhere easy to find, such as the downloads folder on your phone or computer.

Add the story with the reMarkable app

You can transfer the downloaded EPUB or PDF with the reMarkable desktop or mobile app.

From a computer

1. Download the Lumos story as an EPUB or PDF.
2. Open the reMarkable desktop app.
3. Import the downloaded file.
4. Wait for the file to appear on your reMarkable tablet.
5. Open the story on the tablet.

From a phone

1. Open the Lumos downloader in your phone’s browser.
2. Paste the Lumos story link and download the EPUB or PDF.
3. Open the downloaded file with the reMarkable mobile app.
4. Add the file to your reMarkable.
5. Open the story on the tablet.

The available sharing options depend on your phone and browser. Choose the option that opens or shares the downloaded file with the reMarkable app.

Import the story through a web browser

You can also add EPUB and PDF files to a reMarkable through a web browser.

Download the story with WP Downloader, open reMarkable’s browser file interface, and upload the EPUB or PDF. Once the file appears on your tablet, open it to start reading.

Transfer the file over USB

A USB cable provides another way to transfer the story.

1. Connect the reMarkable tablet to your computer with USB.
2. Open the tablet’s storage settings and turn on the USB web interface.
3. Open a browser on the connected computer.
4. Enter 10.11.99.1 in the address bar.
5. Upload the EPUB or PDF you downloaded from WP Downloader.
6. Open the transferred story on the tablet.

The location of the USB web interface setting can differ between reMarkable software versions. If you cannot find it, check the tablet’s current storage settings.

Download newly added chapters

WP Downloader cannot add new chapters to an EPUB or PDF you already downloaded. If the Lumos author adds chapters, download the complete story again.

Transfer the new file with the reMarkable app, a web browser, or USB. It will contain the version of the story available at the time of the new download.
