Read Sam & Jack Stories on a Kobo E-Reader

To read a Sam & Jack story on a Kobo e-reader, download it as an EPUB with WP Downloader and copy the file to your Kobo by USB. Supported Kobo models can also receive files through Dropbox or Google Drive.

Download the story as an EPUB

WP Downloader is a free web tool with nothing to install. Open the Sam & Jack downloader, then find the story you want on samandjack.net.

A Sam & Jack story link looks like this:

https://samandjack.net/fanfics/viewstory.php?sid=1234

Copy the full story URL, paste it into WP Downloader, and choose EPUB. EPUB downloads are free and open natively on Kobo e-readers. You can also include the story’s images.

For Sam & Jack, WP Downloader downloads the whole story. It does not download individual chapters or lists.

You do not need an account for public stories. If a story is available only to members, you can sign in with a Sam & Jack account that has access to it. WP Downloader uses your credentials only to fetch the story you requested and cannot bypass content your account is not allowed to read.

Save the finished EPUB on your computer. For more help with downloading, see how to download Sam & Jack stories.
