https://www.siye.co.uk/siye/viewstory.php?sid=1234 You do not need a SIYE account or any software. WP Downloader is a free web tool, and EPUB downloads are free for everyone. You can also create a PDF after signing in with a free Discord account, though EPUB works well for reading a story as a book.
For SIYE, WP Downloader downloads the whole story. It cannot download an individual chapter or a list of stories. SIYE stories are in English.
Download the SIYE story as an EPUB
Go to the SIYE downloader.
- Copy the link to the SIYE story.
- Paste it into the box on WP Downloader.
- Choose EPUB.
- Choose whether to include the story’s images.
- Download the EPUB to your device.
WP Downloader recognizes the SIYE link and puts the whole story into one book. Its support for SIYE and other fiction archives was ported from FanFicFare, the open-source fanfiction downloader.

- In Books, open the File menu, choose Add to Library, and select the EPUB.

Use a PDF instead
Apple Books also opens PDF files on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. WP Downloader can create a PDF after you sign in with a free Discord account.
If you already have the story as a PDF, share it to Books on an iPhone or iPad, or add it to the Books app on a Mac. WP Downloader does not create MOBI, AZW3, or TXT files.
Get new chapters later
WP Downloader cannot update an EPUB already in your Apple Books Library. If the SIYE story gets new chapters, return to the SIYE downloader and download the whole story again. You can then add the new EPUB to Apple Books in the same way.
