How to read a Wattpad story on a Barnes & Noble NOOK
To read a Wattpad story on a Barnes & Noble NOOK, download it as an EPUB with WP Downloader and copy the file to your NOOK over USB. Barnes & Noble calls this “sideloading.” The story will then be available to read offline.
What you need
Have these ready:
- The Wattpad story link
- A computer with access to WP Downloader
- Your Barnes & Noble NOOK
- A USB cable
A Wattpad story URL usually looks like this:
https://www.wattpad.com/story/123456789-story-titleWP Downloader is a free web tool, and there is nothing to install. EPUB downloads are free for everyone.
Step 1: Download the Wattpad story as an EPUB
Go to the Wattpad downloader and paste the story link into the box. WP Downloader will detect that the link is from Wattpad.
Select EPUB as the output format. If you want the story’s images in the book, choose the option to include them. Download the EPUB and save it somewhere easy to find on your computer.
You do not need an account for a public Wattpad story. If you sign in with your Wattpad account, you can also download paid stories that your account owns, as well as stories from your library and archive. WP Downloader only downloads content that your account can already read. It cannot bypass paywalls, locked chapters, or age restrictions.
WP Downloader also supports individual Wattpad parts and complete reading lists. The steps below use a complete story saved as an EPUB.
For more information about the format, read the guide to converting Wattpad stories to EPUB.
Step 2: Connect your NOOK to the computer
Connect your NOOK GlowLight to the computer with a USB cable.
On newer models, swipe down from the top of the screen, tap “USB for charging,” and choose “Transfer files (MTP).”
The NOOK will appear on your computer as a drive named “NOOK.”
Step 3: Copy the EPUB to your NOOK
Find the EPUB you downloaded and open the NOOK drive. Drag the EPUB onto the device.
After the transfer finishes, eject the NOOK from your computer before unplugging the USB cable. You can then open the EPUB on your NOOK and read it offline.
Downloading new chapters
WP Downloader cannot add new chapters to an EPUB you already have. When the author publishes more chapters, return to the Wattpad downloader, paste the story link again, and download a new EPUB.
Copy the new file to your NOOK using the same USB steps.
Reading or listening elsewhere
WP Downloader also has guides for sending Wattpad stories to Kindle and reading Wattpad stories on Kobo.
When you paste a link to a single Wattpad story, WP Downloader shows a “Listen to audiobook” button. It opens Audora, a sister service that turns the story into an audiobook.
