How to Read stck.me Stories Offline on a Flight
Download your stck.me story before the flight while you still have an internet connection. WP Downloader saves it as an EPUB or PDF that you can keep on your device and open offline.
Download the stck.me story
WP Downloader is a free web tool, and there is nothing to install.
Open the stck.me downloader.
Copy the story’s stck.me URL. It will look similar to this:
https://author.stck.me/story/123/titlePaste the URL into WP Downloader.
Sign in with your stck.me account when asked.
Choose EPUB, which is free for everyone, or PDF, which requires a free Discord sign-in.
Choose whether to include the story’s images.
Download the file to the device you will use on the flight.
WP Downloader only downloads chapters that your stck.me account can already read. It does not buy stories, follow authors, or unlock paid or follower-only chapters. Any chapter your account cannot access remains locked and appears with a notice in the downloaded book.
For more detailed instructions, see how to download a stck.me story.
Choose a device and reading app
Once the EPUB or PDF is on your device, you can open it without an internet connection. The next step depends on where you plan to read.
Phone or tablet
Open the file in a reading app that supports its format. Use the EPUB if your preferred app supports EPUB, or the PDF if it supports PDF.
Save the file on the phone or tablet you are taking, then open the book before you leave. This lets you confirm that the file finished downloading and is available in your reading app.
Kindle e-reader or Kindle app
Send the book to Kindle while you still have internet access. Amazon’s Send to Kindle service accepts EPUB and PDF files. You can deliver the file by email to your Kindle’s Send-to-Kindle address, through the Send to Kindle app, or on the web.
Amazon converts the EPUB, then adds the book to your Kindle library on Kindle e-readers and in the Kindle app. Wait for the book to appear before your flight.
When sending the file by email, use an address on your approved sender list. Send to Kindle no longer accepts MOBI files, and WP Downloader does not create MOBI or AZW3 files. See the full stck.me to Kindle guide for the complete process.
Kobo
Download the EPUB before your trip, then follow the stck.me Kobo guide. Complete the transfer while you still have an internet connection.
Laptop
Download the EPUB or PDF to the laptop you will carry. Once the file is stored locally, you can open it offline with an app that supports the format.
Check the book before the flight
After downloading or delivering the book, turn on airplane mode and open it. This confirms that the copy on your device is available without a connection.
Check that:
- The book opens in airplane mode.
- You can move between chapters.
- The file is stored on the device you will carry.
- Any Kindle delivery has finished.
- The chapters you want are available to your stck.me account.
WP Downloader does not add new chapters to an existing EPUB. If the author has published more chapters, download the story again before your flight.
