Read Command Dynamics Stories on a tolino eReader
To read a Command Dynamics story on a tolino eReader, download it as an EPUB with WP Downloader and copy the file into the Books folder on your tolino. WP Downloader is free and does not require installation.
What you need
Have these ready:
- The Command Dynamics story page on sheppardweir.com
- A computer with internet access
- Your tolino eReader
- A USB-C cable
A Command Dynamics story link usually looks like this:
https://sheppardweir.com/fanfics/viewstory.php?sid=1234WP Downloader downloads complete stories from this site. It does not download individual chapters or story lists.
Step 1: Download the story with WP Downloader
Open the Command Dynamics downloader in your browser. Copy the address of the story on sheppardweir.com, paste it into the box, and wait for WP Downloader to detect the site.
Choose EPUB as the output format because tolino eReaders support EPUB files. You can also choose to include the story’s images. When the download is ready, save the EPUB somewhere easy to find on your computer.
Public stories do not require an account. You can optionally sign in with your Command Dynamics account to download members-only stories that the account can already read. WP Downloader does not bypass locked content, paywalls, or age restrictions.
If the author adds a chapter later, download the whole story again to create a new EPUB. WP Downloader cannot update an EPUB you previously saved.
Support for Command Dynamics and the other fiction archives available through WP Downloader was ported from FanFicFare, the open-source fanfiction downloader.
Step 2: Connect your tolino to the computer
Connect your tolino eReader to the computer with a USB-C cable, then wait for the computer to detect it.
The tolino vision 6, shine 4, and epos 3 use MTP for USB transfers. Depending on your computer, one of these models may appear as a connected device instead of a removable drive. Open the tolino when it appears.
If you do not see the reader immediately, wait a moment for the computer to finish detecting it and check again.
Step 3: Copy the EPUB into the Books folder
Open the tolino’s storage and find the Books folder. Then:
- Find the downloaded EPUB on your computer.
- Open the Books folder on the tolino.
- Copy the EPUB into that folder.
- Wait for the file to finish copying.
Do not unplug the tolino during the transfer. Disconnect it only after the file has finished copying.
Step 4: Open the story on your tolino
Disconnect the tolino and return to the reader. You can now open the transferred EPUB and read it without an internet connection.
