KOReader is a free, open-source document reader for Kobo, PocketBook, and Android devices. It also runs on Kindles that have been jailbroken. Installing KOReader on a Kobo or Kindle is a separate, unofficial process. The steps below assume that it is already installed.

Step 1: Download the Phoenixsong.net story

Open the Phoenixsong.net downloader in your browser.

1. Copy the Phoenixsong.net story URL.
2. Paste it into WP Downloader.
3. Choose EPUB as the output format.
4. Turn on the image option if you want to include the story’s images.
5. Download the finished file.

EPUB is free for everyone and opens in KOReader. WP Downloader can also create a PDF, which requires a free Discord sign-in.

WP Downloader downloads the complete Phoenixsong.net story. It cannot download a single chapter or a list of stories from this site. Support for the archive was ported from FanFicFare, the open-source fanfiction downloader.

Step 2: Copy the EPUB to your device

After the EPUB downloads, copy it to the device where you use KOReader.

Kobo or PocketBook

Connect the device to your computer with USB and copy the EPUB onto it. Save the file in a folder that you can find later from KOReader’s file browser.

Kobo users can also read how to read Phoenixsong.net stories on Kobo.

Android

Copy the EPUB to your phone, tablet, or Android reading device with your usual Android file-transfer method. Save it in a folder that you can reach from KOReader’s file browser.

If you downloaded the story directly on the Android device, check which folder your browser used for the EPUB.

Jailbroken Kindle

KOReader runs only on Kindles that have been jailbroken. Its unofficial installation process is separate from downloading the story.

If KOReader is already installed, copy the EPUB to the Kindle by USB. You can also see how to send Phoenixsong.net stories to Kindle for another way to read the story on a Kindle.

Step 3: Open the story in KOReader

Open KOReader and use its file browser to find the folder containing the EPUB. Select the file to begin reading.

The EPUB is stored on your device, so you can read it offline.

Getting new chapters later

WP Downloader cannot add new chapters to an EPUB that you already have. When the author updates the story, return to the Phoenixsong.net downloader, paste the story link again, and download a new copy.

Copy the new EPUB to your device and open it in KOReader. You can keep or remove the older file.
