How to Read Stories from The Spuffy Realm on a Barnes & Noble NOOK
To read a story from The Spuffy Realm on a Barnes & Noble NOOK, download the complete story as an EPUB with WP Downloader and copy the file to your NOOK over USB. EPUB downloads are free, and WP Downloader works in your browser with nothing to install.
Download the story as an EPUB
Find the story on The Spuffy Realm. Its address should look like this:
https://spikeluver.com/SpuffyRealm/viewstory.php?sid=1234Copy the full address from your browser’s address bar. Use the main story page rather than an individual chapter.
Open the The Spuffy Realm downloader, paste the address into the box, and choose EPUB as the output format. WP Downloader will recognize the site and prepare the story. You can also choose whether to include its images.
WP Downloader downloads complete stories from The Spuffy Realm. It does not download individual chapters or story lists from this archive, and you do not need an account.
When the EPUB is ready, download it to your computer. For more help with this step, see the The Spuffy Realm download guide.
Support for The Spuffy Realm and other fiction archives was ported from the open-source fanfiction downloader FanFicFare.
Connect your NOOK to your computer
Barnes & Noble calls copying your own files to a NOOK “sideloading.” On NOOK GlowLight models, you can sideload the EPUB over USB.
Connect the NOOK to your computer with a USB cable. On newer models, change the USB setting so the computer can access the device:
- Swipe down from the top of the NOOK screen.
- Tap USB for charging.
- Choose Transfer files, which may also be labeled MTP.
The NOOK should then appear on your computer as a drive named NOOK.
Copy the EPUB to your NOOK
Find the EPUB you downloaded and drag it onto the NOOK drive. Wait until the transfer has finished.
Eject the NOOK from your computer before unplugging the USB cable. You can then disconnect it and open the story on your NOOK for offline reading.
Download new chapters later
WP Downloader cannot add new chapters to an EPUB you already have. If the author updates the story, return to the The Spuffy Realm downloader, paste the story link again, and download a new EPUB.
Copy the new file to your NOOK with the same USB steps. It will contain the chapters available at the time of the new download.
