A SIYE story link looks like this:
https://www.siye.co.uk/siye/viewstory.php?sid=1234You do not need to sign in to SIYE. WP Downloader downloads complete English-language stories from the site, not individual chapters or lists.
Step 1: Download the SIYE story as an EPUB
Open the SIYE downloader in your browser and paste the story link into the box. WP Downloader will detect the site.
Choose EPUB as the output format. EPUB downloads are free for everyone, and tolino eReaders can read EPUB files. You can also choose whether to include the story’s images.
When the download is ready, save the EPUB somewhere you can find it on your computer, such as your Downloads folder.
WP Downloader can also create a PDF after a free Discord sign-in, but a tolino needs the EPUB for these steps. The downloader does not create MOBI, AZW3, or TXT files.
For more help with downloading, see the complete SIYE download guide.
Step 2: Connect your tolino to the computer
Connect the tolino to your computer with a USB-C cable. Wait for the computer to detect the reader and make its storage available.
The tolino vision 6, shine 4, and epos 3 use MTP for USB transfers, so they may not appear as standard removable drives.
Step 3: Copy the EPUB to the Books folder
Open the tolino’s storage on your computer and find the “Books” folder. Locate the EPUB you downloaded from WP Downloader and copy it into that folder.
Wait for the copy to finish before unplugging the tolino. Once the transfer is complete, you can open the SIYE story on the eReader and read it offline.
Downloading new chapters later
WP Downloader cannot add new chapters to an EPUB you already have. If the author updates the story, return to the SIYE downloader, paste the link again, and download the complete story as a new EPUB.
Copy the new EPUB to the “Books” folder using the same USB-C transfer process.
Why use EPUB for SIYE stories?
tolino eReaders support EPUB, so the downloaded story does not need to be converted. WP Downloader saves the complete story in one file for offline reading.
Support for SIYE and the other fiction archives available through WP Downloader was ported from FanFicFare, the open-source fanfiction downloader licensed under Apache-2.0.
Guides are also available for sending SIYE stories to Kindle and reading SIYE stories on Kobo.
