How to read a Walking the Plank story on a Barnes & Noble NOOK

To read a Walking the Plank story on a Barnes & Noble NOOK, download it as an EPUB with WP Downloader and copy the file to your NOOK over USB. WP Downloader is free, and you do not need a Walking the Plank account.

Download the story as an EPUB

WP Downloader is a web tool, so there is nothing to install. Open the Walking the Plank downloader to get started.

Find the story you want on walkingtheplank.org and copy its address. A story link looks like this:

http://www.walkingtheplank.org/archive/viewstory.php?sid=1234

WP Downloader downloads complete Walking the Plank stories. It does not download individual chapters or lists from this site.

1. Open the Walking the Plank downloader page.
2. Paste the story link into the box.
3. Choose EPUB as the output format.
4. Choose whether to include the story’s images.
5. Download the EPUB to your computer.

No sign-in is needed for Walking the Plank. WP Downloader can also create a PDF with a free Discord sign-in, but you will need the EPUB for this guide.

Walking the Plank support was ported from FanFicFare, an open-source fanfiction downloader licensed under Apache-2.0.

Copy the EPUB to your NOOK

Barnes & Noble calls copying your own files to a NOOK “sideloading.” You will need the EPUB, a USB cable, and your NOOK GlowLight.

Connect the NOOK to your computer

Connect the NOOK GlowLight to your computer with the USB cable. It will appear as a drive named “NOOK.”

On newer models, change the USB setting so your computer can access the device:

1. Swipe down from the top of the NOOK screen.
2. Tap “USB for charging.”
3. Choose “Transfer files (MTP).”

Return to your computer and open the NOOK drive.

Copy the EPUB

Find the EPUB that WP Downloader saved to your computer, then drag it onto the NOOK drive. Wait for the file to finish copying.

Eject the NOOK from your computer before unplugging the USB cable. The story will then be available on the device for offline reading.

Get newer chapters later

WP Downloader cannot add new chapters to an EPUB you have already downloaded. If the author adds chapters, paste the story link into the downloader again to get a new EPUB. You can copy the new file to your NOOK by following the same USB steps.
