How to read a SIYE story on a Kobo e-reader

To read a Sink Into Your Eyes story on a Kobo, download it as an EPUB with WP Downloader and copy the file to your e-reader. Kobo opens EPUB files directly, so you do not need to convert the story.

Download the SIYE story as an EPUB

WP Downloader is a free web tool with nothing to install. It supports complete stories from Sink Into Your Eyes, also known as SIYE, at siye.co.uk.

Find the story you want to read. Its address should look like this:

https://www.siye.co.uk/siye/viewstory.php?sid=1234

Copy the story address and open the SIYE downloader. Paste the address into the box, and WP Downloader will detect the site.

Select EPUB as the output format. EPUB downloads are free for everyone, and Kobo e-readers can open them directly. You can also choose whether to include the story’s images.

WP Downloader downloads the complete SIYE story. It does not download individual chapters or story lists, and you do not need to sign in.

PDF is also available with a free Discord sign-in. EPUB is usually the simpler choice for reading on a Kobo.

Add the EPUB to your Kobo with a USB cable

You can transfer the EPUB from a computer with a USB cable.

Connect your Kobo e-reader to your computer with a USB cable.
Wait for the Kobo to appear as a drive on the computer.
Find the EPUB file you downloaded with WP Downloader.
Copy the EPUB onto the Kobo drive.
Eject the Kobo safely from the computer.
Disconnect the cable.

The story will appear in your Kobo library. You can open it like any other book and read it offline.

Add the story through Dropbox

Some Kobo models can add non-protected EPUB and PDF files through Dropbox. You need Kobo software version 4.18 or later and one of these e-readers:

Kobo Forma
Kobo Sage
Kobo Elipsa
Kobo Elipsa 2E
Kobo Libra Colour

Link your Dropbox account from the e-reader, place the EPUB in the cloud folder, and sync your Kobo. The file will then appear on that device.

Books added through Dropbox appear only on the Kobo where you added them.

Add the story through Google Drive

Google Drive requires Kobo software version 4.37 or later and is available on the same models:

Kobo Forma
Kobo Sage
Kobo Elipsa
Kobo Elipsa 2E
Kobo Libra Colour

On the e-reader, open Home, More, and then My Google Drive. Select Get Started. Kobo will display a code that you can enter on the Kobo website to link your Google Drive account.

Once the account is linked, put the EPUB in the cloud folder and sync the e-reader. The story will appear on the Kobo when the sync is complete. Books added through Google Drive appear only on that device.

Use a USB cable if your Kobo does not support either cloud option.

Get new chapters

WP Downloader cannot update an EPUB you have already downloaded. When the SIYE story gets a new chapter, return to the SIYE downloader and download the complete story again.

Transfer the new EPUB to your Kobo through USB, Dropbox, or Google Drive. It will contain the chapters available when you downloaded it.
