How to Read Twisting the Hellmouth Stories on a NOOK
To read a Twisting the Hellmouth story on a Barnes & Noble NOOK, download it as an EPUB with WP Downloader and copy the file to your device. Barnes & Noble calls this “sideloading.” Once transferred, the story is available to read offline.
Download the story as an EPUB
WP Downloader is a free web tool and does not require any installation. Open the Twisting the Hellmouth downloader in your browser.
A story URL usually looks like this:
https://www.tthfanfic.org/Story-1234To download the story:
- Copy its URL.
- Paste the URL into the box on the downloader page.
- Wait while WP Downloader detects Twisting the Hellmouth and retrieves the story.
- Choose EPUB as the output format.
- Choose whether to include the story’s images.
- Download the completed EPUB to your computer.
EPUB is free for everyone and works with a NOOK. WP Downloader can also create a PDF, which requires a free Discord sign-in. It does not create MOBI, AZW3, or TXT files.
WP Downloader retrieves the entire story from Twisting the Hellmouth. It cannot download a single chapter or a list of stories from the site. Twisting the Hellmouth stories are in English.
You do not need to sign in for public stories. If a story is available only to members, you can sign in with your Twisting the Hellmouth account to download it when that account already has access. WP Downloader uses your credentials only to retrieve the story you requested. It cannot bypass paywalls, locked chapters, age restrictions, or other access controls.
Twisting the Hellmouth support was ported from FanFicFare, the open-source fanfiction downloader licensed under Apache-2.0.
Copy the EPUB to a NOOK GlowLight
Connect your NOOK GlowLight to your computer with a USB cable. It should appear as a drive named “NOOK.”
Open the drive and drag the downloaded EPUB onto it. Wait until the transfer finishes before disconnecting the NOOK.
Newer NOOK models may require you to change the USB setting before your computer can open the device:
- Swipe down from the top of the NOOK screen.
- Tap “USB for charging.”
- Choose “Transfer files (MTP).”
- Open the NOOK on your computer and copy the EPUB to it.
This setting allows you to move the EPUB from your computer to the NOOK.
Eject the NOOK safely
After the file has finished copying, eject the NOOK from your computer before unplugging the USB cable. This allows the computer to finish writing the file and can prevent transfer problems.
You can then disconnect the cable, open the EPUB on your NOOK, and read the story offline.
Get updated chapters
WP Downloader cannot add new chapters to an EPUB you already have. When a story is updated, return to the Twisting the Hellmouth downloader, paste the story URL again, and download a new EPUB.
Copy the new file to your NOOK with the same USB steps. If you keep both versions on the device, open the newer copy to read the latest available chapters.
