How to Read a SIYE Story on a Barnes & Noble NOOK
To read a Sink Into Your Eyes story on a Barnes & Noble NOOK, download it as an EPUB with WP Downloader and copy the file to your NOOK over USB. The download is free, requires no SIYE account, and includes the complete story for offline reading.
What you need
You will need:
- The SIYE story link
- A computer and USB cable
- Your Barnes & Noble NOOK
A SIYE story link usually looks like this:
https://www.siye.co.uk/siye/viewstory.php?sid=1234WP Downloader is a free web tool, so there is nothing to install. It downloads complete SIYE stories, not individual chapters or lists.
Step 1: Download the SIYE story as an EPUB
Open the SIYE downloader in your browser. You can also paste the story link into the box on the WP Downloader home page, which will detect that the link comes from SIYE.
- Copy the SIYE story’s address from your browser.
- Paste the address into WP Downloader.
- Choose EPUB as the output format.
- Choose whether to include the story’s images.
- Start the download and save the EPUB to your computer.
EPUB is free for everyone and works for this NOOK transfer. WP Downloader also provides PDF downloads with a free Discord sign-in, but an EPUB download does not require that sign-in.
You do not need a SIYE account. WP Downloader puts the complete story into one EPUB. For more help with downloading, see how to download SIYE stories.
Step 2: Connect your NOOK to the computer
Turn on your NOOK GlowLight and connect it to your computer with a USB cable.
On newer models, change the USB connection mode so the computer can access the device:
- Swipe down from the top of the NOOK screen.
- Tap “USB for charging.”
- Choose “Transfer files (MTP).”
The NOOK should appear on your computer as a drive named “NOOK.”
Barnes & Noble calls copying your own files to a NOOK “sideloading.”
Step 3: Copy the EPUB to your NOOK
Find the EPUB on your computer, open the NOOK drive, and drag the file onto it. Wait until the transfer finishes.
Eject the NOOK from your computer before unplugging the USB cable. You can then disconnect it and open the story for offline reading.
Getting new chapters later
WP Downloader cannot update an EPUB already stored on your NOOK. If the SIYE author adds chapters, return to the SIYE downloader and download the complete story again.
Copy the new EPUB to your NOOK using the same USB steps. The new file will contain the chapters available when you downloaded it.
Reading on a different device
For another e-reader, start by creating an EPUB from the SIYE story link, then transfer it using the method for that device.
See the separate guides for sending SIYE stories to Kindle and reading SIYE stories on Kobo.
