KOReader only runs on Kindles that have been jailbroken. Installing it is unofficial and separate from downloading the story.
You can also follow the guides for sending Psychfic stories to Kindle or reading Psychfic stories on Kobo.
Android
If you downloaded the EPUB directly to your Android device, look for it in the downloads folder. Otherwise, copy it from your computer using Android file transfer.
Save the file in a folder you can find from KOReader’s file browser.
Open the Psychfic story in KOReader
Open KOReader and use its file browser to find the downloaded EPUB. Select the file to start reading.
The story is stored on your device, so you can read it offline without returning to Psychfic or downloading its chapters separately.
If you chose to include images, WP Downloader adds the images it can retrieve to the book.
Get new chapters
WP Downloader cannot update an EPUB already stored on your device. When the author publishes more chapters, return to the Psychfic downloader, paste the story link again, and download a new copy.
Copy the new EPUB to your device and open that version in KOReader.
