Android
Copy the EPUB to your Android device using your usual file-transfer method. If you downloaded it directly to the device, you can open it from its current folder.
Kindle
KOReader only runs on jailbroken Kindles. Installing it is a separate, unofficial process. Once KOReader is available, copy the EPUB to the Kindle as you would any other document.
To use the regular Kindle reading process instead, see how to send The Spuffy Realm stories to Kindle.

WP Downloader puts the complete story in one EPUB, so you do not need to save and open each chapter separately. The file remains on your device for offline reading.
If the author adds chapters later, download the story again. WP Downloader cannot add new chapters to an existing EPUB, so you need a new copy to get the current version.
Installing KOReader
Installing KOReader on Kobo or Kindle is separate from downloading the story and is unofficial on those devices. Once it is installed, copy the EPUB to the device and open it through KOReader’s file browser.
