What you need

KOReader is a free, open-source document reader for Kobo, PocketBook, and Android devices. It also runs on Kindles that have been jailbroken. The reader opens both EPUB and PDF files.
Installing KOReader on a Kobo or Kindle is a separate, unofficial process. The steps below assume it is already installed on your device.
Step 1: Copy the SIYE story link
Open the story on siye.co.uk and copy its address from your browser. A Sink Into Your Eyes story URL looks like this:
https://www.siye.co.uk/siye/viewstory.php?sid=1234Copy the address of the main story page. WP Downloader downloads complete SIYE stories, not individual chapters or story lists.
Step 2: Download the story with WP Downloader
Open the SIYE downloader and paste the story link into the box. WP Downloader will recognize it as a Sink Into Your Eyes link.
You do not need to sign in to SIYE. WP Downloader is a free web tool, so there is nothing to install on your phone or computer.
Choose EPUB for use with KOReader. EPUB downloads are free for everyone, and you can choose whether to include the story’s images.
KOReader can also open PDF files. Creating a PDF with WP Downloader requires a free Discord sign-in. The tool does not create MOBI, AZW3, or TXT files.
Download the EPUB and save it somewhere you can find it. The file contains the complete English-language story.
For more detail, see the guide to downloading SIYE stories.
Step 3: Copy the EPUB to your KOReader device
The transfer method depends on your device.
Kobo or PocketBook
Connect the device to your computer with USB and copy the EPUB to it as usual.
Open KOReader, find the EPUB through its file browser, and select the file to start reading.
The separate guide to reading SIYE stories on Kobo covers the general Kobo option.
Android phone or tablet
Copy the EPUB to your Android device with your usual Android file transfer method.
Open KOReader, browse to the saved EPUB, and select it.
Jailbroken Kindle
KOReader runs on Kindles that have been jailbroken. Copy the EPUB to the Kindle with USB, then open KOReader and find the book through its file browser.
Installing KOReader or jailbreaking a Kindle is an unofficial process and is outside the scope of this guide. For the standard Kindle workflow, see how to send SIYE stories to Kindle.
Getting new chapters later
WP Downloader cannot update an EPUB that is already on your device. If the author publishes more chapters, return to the SIYE downloader, paste the story link again, and download the story as a new file.
Copy the new EPUB to your device and open it in KOReader. It will contain the chapters available when you downloaded the story again.
