How to Read a Unicorn Dreams Story on a Kobo
To read a Unicorn Dreams story on a Kobo, download it as an EPUB with WP Downloader and copy the file to your e-reader. Kobo opens EPUB files natively, so you do not need to convert the story or install another reading app.
Download the story as an EPUB
Unicorn Dreams, also called Sinful Dreams, is an English-language fiction archive at sinful-dreams.com. Its story links look like this:
https://sinful-dreams.com/unicorn/fic/viewstory.php?sid=1234 To download a story:
- Open the Unicorn Dreams downloader.
- Paste the full story URL into the download box.
- Choose EPUB as the output format.
- Choose whether to include the story’s images.
- Download the finished EPUB to your computer or phone.
WP Downloader is a free web tool, and there is nothing to install. EPUB downloads are free for everyone. You can also download a PDF after signing in with Discord for free, but EPUB is the simplest format for a Kobo because the e-reader opens it directly.
For Unicorn Dreams, WP Downloader downloads the whole story. It cannot download a single chapter or a reading list. If the author publishes more chapters later, download the story again to create a new EPUB. WPD cannot update a file you have already downloaded.
You can download public stories without an account. If you sign in with your Unicorn Dreams account, WP Downloader can also fetch members-only stories that the account can read. It uses your credentials only to fetch the story you requested and cannot bypass locked content, paywalls, or age restrictions.
Unicorn Dreams support was ported from FanFicFare, the open-source fanfiction downloader licensed under Apache-2.0.
Copy the EPUB to your Kobo with USB
USB works with Kobo e-readers and requires a computer.
- Connect your Kobo to the computer with a USB cable.
- Wait for the Kobo to appear as a drive.
- Find the EPUB you downloaded from WP Downloader.
- Copy the EPUB to the Kobo drive.
- Eject the Kobo safely.
- Disconnect the cable.
The story will appear in your Kobo library after you eject the device. You can open it like any other book and read it offline.
If you downloaded the story on your phone, move the EPUB to a computer before following these steps.
Add the EPUB with Dropbox
Kobo Forma, Kobo Sage, Kobo Elipsa, Kobo Elipsa 2E, and Kobo Libra Colour can import non-protected EPUB and PDF files from Dropbox. The e-reader must have software version 4.18 or later.
Link your Dropbox account from the e-reader, put the EPUB in the connected cloud folder, and sync the Kobo. The story will then appear in the library on that device.
Books imported this way appear only on the Kobo where you added them.
Add the EPUB with Google Drive
Google Drive is available on Kobo Forma, Kobo Sage, Kobo Elipsa, Kobo Elipsa 2E, and Kobo Libra Colour with software version 4.37 or later.
To connect your account:
- On the Kobo Home screen, select More.
- Select My Google Drive.
- Select Get Started.
- Note the code shown on the Kobo.
- Enter the code on the Kobo website as directed.
- Put the EPUB in the connected Google Drive folder.
- Sync the e-reader.
After the Kobo syncs, the story will appear in its library. Books imported through Google Drive appear only on the device where you added them.
Choose a transfer method
USB works with Kobo e-readers and does not require a cloud account. Use Dropbox or Google Drive if your Kobo model and software version support the service and you prefer to transfer the EPUB through the cloud.
