Send a Command Dynamics Story to Kindle
To send a Command Dynamics story to your Kindle, download it as an EPUB with WP Downloader and upload the file through Amazon’s Send to Kindle service. Amazon converts the EPUB and adds the book to your Kindle library. You can then open it on a Kindle e-reader or in the Kindle app.
Step 1: Copy the Command Dynamics story link
Open the story on sheppardweir.com and copy its full URL. A story link looks like this:
https://sheppardweir.com/fanfics/viewstory.php?sid=1234Copy the story page, not a general archive page. WP Downloader downloads the whole story from this archive and does not support individual chapters or story lists.
Step 2: Download the story with WP Downloader
Open the Command Dynamics story downloader and paste the story URL into the box. WP Downloader will recognize the site and prepare the story for download.
Choose EPUB for a straightforward Kindle workflow. EPUB downloads are free for everyone, and Amazon’s Send to Kindle service accepts EPUB files. You can also include the story’s images.
PDF is available after a free Discord sign-in, and Send to Kindle accepts that format too. WP Downloader does not create MOBI, AZW3, or TXT files. Send to Kindle no longer accepts MOBI, so you do not need one for this process.
Public stories do not require a Command Dynamics account. You can sign in with your sheppardweir.com account to download members-only stories that the account can read. WP Downloader uses your credentials only to fetch the story you requested.
WP Downloader downloads only the content your account can already access. It cannot bypass restricted content.

Step 3: Send the EPUB to Kindle
After saving the EPUB on your phone or computer, send it to Kindle using the web, the Send to Kindle app, or email.
Use Send to Kindle on the web
Open Amazon’s Send to Kindle web page and select the EPUB you downloaded. Amazon will process and convert the file, then add the story to your Kindle library.
This method works well when the file is already saved on the device you are using.
Use the Send to Kindle app
You can also add the EPUB through Amazon’s Send to Kindle app. Select the downloaded story file and send it to your Kindle library. Amazon will handle the conversion.
When processing finishes, the story will appear in your library on your Kindle e-reader and in the Kindle app.
Send the file by email
Every Kindle has a Send-to-Kindle email address. Attach the EPUB to an email and send it to that address.
You must send the email from an approved sender address. Amazon will reject the file if the sending address has not been approved for your Kindle. Once Amazon accepts and converts the EPUB, it will appear in your Kindle library.
For instructions covering all three methods, read the Send to Kindle guide.
Read the story on your Kindle
Open the library on your Kindle e-reader or in the Kindle app, then select the converted story. WP Downloader packages the whole story into one EPUB, so its chapters stay together as a single book.
If the author posts new chapters, download the story again and send the new EPUB to Kindle. WP Downloader cannot update an EPUB you downloaded earlier.
You can also read the story elsewhere by following the guides to reading Sheppard/Weir stories on Kobo and reading Sheppard/Weir stories offline.
WP Downloader’s support for Command Dynamics and its other fiction archives was ported from FanFicFare, the open-source fanfiction downloader.
