Read the EPUB with an Android app
After downloading the EPUB, open it with an app that supports EPUB files. Google Play Books and Moon+ Reader both work on Android.
Use Google Play Books
Google Play Books accepts your own DRM-free EPUB and PDF files. After uploading a book, you can read it on Android, iPhone, iPad, or the web.
You can upload the EPUB from the Google Play Books Android app. You can also use the Play Books website to upload it from your computer or Google Drive. When the upload is complete, open Play Books on your Android device and choose the story from your uploaded books.
Very large stories may reach Google’s upload size limit. If that happens, use an Android app that opens the EPUB directly.
Use Moon+ Reader
Moon+ Reader opens EPUB files directly on Android. Download the story, then open the EPUB with Moon+ Reader.
This keeps the file on your device instead of uploading it to an online library. Moon+ Reader also has a built-in text-to-speech mode that can read the story aloud.
Listen to the story on Android
Moon+ Reader can read EPUB files aloud with its text-to-speech mode. You can also open the EPUB in @Voice Aloud Reader.
Android’s Select to Speak accessibility feature can read items shown on the screen. Turn it on in Settings under Accessibility, then tap an item to hear it read aloud.
All of these options use the text-to-speech voices installed on your device, so the narration depends on the voices available in your Android settings.
Keep downloaded stories organized
Save downloaded EPUB files in a consistent location so you can find them easily from your reading app. The filename can help you tell stories apart.
If you have several copies of an ongoing story, check which file is newest before opening it. WP Downloader cannot add new chapters to an existing EPUB. You need to download a fresh copy of the whole story.
Once you have checked that the new EPUB opens and contains the version you wanted, you can delete the older copy.
