Transfer the EPUB to your tolino
Connect the tolino to your computer with its USB-C cable.
1. Wait for the computer to detect the reader
Wait until the computer recognizes your tolino. The tolino vision 6, shine 4, and epos 3 use MTP for USB transfers, so your computer may show the reader as a connected device instead of a removable drive.
2. Open the tolino storage
Open the tolino in your computer’s file browser and find the Books folder.
3. Copy the story into the Books folder
Find the EPUB created by WP Downloader and copy it into the Books folder on the tolino.
Wait for the copy to finish. Do not unplug the USB-C cable while the file is copying.
4. Disconnect the tolino
Once the copy is complete, disconnect the reader and unplug the cable. The TG Storytime story will be available on your tolino.
Read the story offline
The EPUB is stored on your tolino, so you can read the story without returning to TG Storytime or connecting to the internet.
You can keep the original EPUB on your computer as a backup. If the author adds more chapters, download the story again and copy the new EPUB to your tolino.
