How to read a Phoenixsong.net story on a Kobo e-reader

To read a Phoenixsong.net story on a Kobo, download it as an EPUB with WP Downloader and copy the file to your e-reader. Kobo devices open EPUB files natively, so no conversion is needed.

Download the Phoenixsong.net story as an EPUB

WP Downloader is a free web tool with nothing to install. Open the Phoenixsong.net downloader and paste the story’s Phoenixsong.net URL into the box.

A story link looks like this:

https://www.phoenixsong.net/fanfiction/story/1234/

WP Downloader detects the site and downloads the complete story. You do not need to sign in to Phoenixsong.net.

Choose EPUB as the output format. EPUB downloads are free for everyone, and Kobo devices can open them directly. You can also choose whether to include the story’s images.

WP Downloader can also create a PDF, but PDF downloads require a free Discord sign-in. EPUB is usually the simpler option for reading on a Kobo.

For Phoenixsong.net, WP Downloader downloads whole stories only. It cannot download a single chapter or a list of stories. See how to download Phoenixsong.net stories for a more detailed walkthrough.

Add the EPUB to your Kobo with USB

USB works by copying the downloaded EPUB from a computer to the e-reader.

Download the Phoenixsong.net story as an EPUB.
Connect your Kobo e-reader to your computer with USB.
Wait for the Kobo to appear as a drive on the computer.
Copy the EPUB file onto that drive.
Eject the Kobo before disconnecting it.
Open your Kobo library and select the story.

The book will appear in your library, ready to open and read without returning to Phoenixsong.net.

Add the EPUB through Dropbox

Some Kobo models can add non-protected EPUB and PDF files through Dropbox. This requires Kobo software version 4.18 or later and works on these devices:

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

Link your Dropbox account from the e-reader, put the downloaded EPUB in the connected cloud folder, and sync your Kobo. The story will appear on that device.

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

Add the EPUB through Google Drive

Google Drive requires Kobo software version 4.37 or later and works on the same models:

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

On your Kobo, open Home, select More, then select My Google Drive and 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, then sync the e-reader. The story will appear in the library on that Kobo.

Books added through Google Drive appear only on the device where you added them.

Read the story offline

Once the EPUB is on your Kobo, you can read it without loading the story from Phoenixsong.net or connecting to the internet.

If the author adds more chapters later, WP Downloader will not update the EPUB already on your Kobo. Download the whole story again and transfer the new file to the device.

You can also read the guide to reading Phoenixsong.net stories offline. If you use a different e-reader, see the guide to sending Phoenixsong.net stories to Kindle.
