How to Read SquidgeWorld Stories on a Boox E-Reader
To read a SquidgeWorld Archive story on a Boox e-reader, download the whole story as an EPUB or PDF with WP Downloader and open the file on your device. Boox e-readers run Android and support both formats in their built-in reader. You can also install another Android reading app.
Download the SquidgeWorld story with WP Downloader
WP Downloader is a free web tool, and there is nothing to install. Open the story on squidgeworld.org and copy its address. A SquidgeWorld work link looks like this:
https://squidgeworld.org/works/123456Follow these steps:
- Open the SquidgeWorld story downloader.
- Paste the story link into the box.
- Sign in to your SquidgeWorld Archive account if the story is available only to members. You do not need to sign in for a public story.
- Choose EPUB or PDF.
- Select the option to include the story’s images if you want them in the downloaded book.
- Download the file to your phone or computer.
EPUB is free for everyone and works well on an e-reader. PDF requires a free Discord sign-in.
WP Downloader downloads the entire story from SquidgeWorld Archive. It cannot download an individual chapter or a list of stories from this site. The tool can retrieve only material that your account can already read. Signing in does not bypass members-only access, paywalls, locked chapters, or age restrictions.
Support for SquidgeWorld Archive and the other supported fiction archives was ported from FanFicFare, the open-source fanfiction downloader.

Move the EPUB or PDF to your Boox
You can copy the downloaded file over USB or open it from Google Drive.
Copy the file over USB
Connect your Boox to the computer where you saved the story. Copy the EPUB or PDF to the device, then disconnect it after the transfer finishes.
Find the copied file on your Boox and open it in the built-in reader.
Open the file from Google Drive
Upload the file from your phone or computer to Google Drive. Open Google Drive on your Boox, find the EPUB or PDF, and open or download it.
Since Boox runs Android, you can use the built-in reader or another Android reading app.
EPUB or PDF: which should you choose?
EPUB is a good starting point for most Boox readers. WP Downloader creates EPUB files for free, and Boox devices can open them directly.
Choose PDF if you prefer that format. Boox can open PDF files, but creating one with WP Downloader requires a free Discord sign-in.
WP Downloader does not create MOBI, AZW3, or TXT files. Those formats are not needed because Boox can open EPUB and PDF.
What happens when the story gets new chapters?
The downloaded file contains the version of the story that was available when you saved it. WP Downloader does not add new chapters to an existing EPUB.
To get the latest chapters, return to the SquidgeWorld downloader, paste the story link again, and download the whole story as a new file. Move the new file to your Boox through USB or Google Drive.
If you use another e-reader, see the guides for sending SquidgeWorld stories to Kindle or reading SquidgeWorld stories on Kobo.
