WP Downloader’s support for Phoenixsong.net and other fiction archives was ported from FanFicFare, the open-source fanfiction downloader.
Send the EPUB with Send-to-PocketBook
Send-to-PocketBook lets you email the EPUB to your e-reader. You need to activate the service on your PocketBook before using it for the first time.
Set up Send-to-PocketBook
On your PocketBook:
- Open Settings.
- Select Accounts and synchronization.
- Choose Send-to-PocketBook.
- Sign in and follow the activation instructions.
- Open the activation email you receive.
After activation, you will get a personal Send-to-PocketBook address ending in @pbsync.com.
Email and sync the story
Attach the EPUB from WP Downloader to an email and send it to your personal @pbsync.com address. Sync your PocketBook to receive the file.
If the book does not arrive, check whether your sending email address is on the approved list. Send-to-PocketBook may ask you to whitelist the address before accepting the attachment. Once the address is approved, send the EPUB again and sync the reader.
When the transfer finishes, open the story on your PocketBook and read it like any other EPUB.
Transfer the story over USB
You can also copy the EPUB from a computer to your PocketBook over USB. This may help if you prefer not to set up Send-to-PocketBook or the emailed file does not appear.
Connect the PocketBook to your computer, copy the downloaded EPUB to the reader, and disconnect it after the transfer finishes. You can then open the story on the device.
Download new chapters later
WP Downloader cannot add new chapters to an EPUB already on your PocketBook. If the author publishes more chapters, return to the Phoenixsong.net downloader, paste the story link again, and download another copy.
Transfer the new EPUB to your PocketBook by email or USB. It will contain the complete story available at the time of the new download.
The Phoenixsong.net story download guide has more help with downloading. You can also read the guides for sending Phoenixsong.net stories to Kindle and reading Phoenixsong.net stories on Kobo.
