Useful Resources
If you like dragons and reading, links on this page may prove quite valuable to you.
For your reading pleasure
- The List™ — if you are looking for dragon books, and not the lame "dragons-as-a-display-piece" kind, but the proper dragon PoV stories and are still somehow unaware of this list's existence, you have to check it out ASAP. It has at least 185 proper dragon books, and that's with only first books in a series being allowed on the list. If you are on the hunt for some good dragon books, chances are you will likely find your next read there. Although, I aim to make it redundand by expanding my table to include the entirety of the books on The List™.
- New Release Dragon Fiction — The List™'s younger sibling, a list of new dragon book releases for each year, starting 2023. Each year has a separate dedicated list. It might seem redundant with the existance of The List™, but it helps to keep track of new book releases and can sometimes contain entries that are not present in the original list.
- The Bookwyrm Lair — a discord community dedicated to reading and writing dragon fiction, which is why there are quite a few resident authors there. Join the book club for a bi-monthly reading session, discover new books through the power of word of mouth, or discuss the ones you've already read with likeminded individuals.
- WyrmWorks — a subreddit specifically dedicated to dragons in different forms of media, although, expectedly, the discussions there most often concern books, as they constitute the largest body of works with significant dragon representation.
Bookwyrm's Toolkit
- Calibre — the design of its website might be very 2008, but the app itself is a must-have ebook management utility, with many downloadable plugins available to further enhance or customise your experience. Its UI even recently got a facelift, bringing it into the 21st century.
- WebToEpub — have you ever looked at a 1000-pages long story on RoyalRoad or WattPad, and though "Damn, I wish I could downlad that to my e-ink reader"? Well, your wish just came true. WebToEpub is a Chrome browser extension that allows you to download stories from websites like RoyalRoad, as epub files.
- FanFicFare — is a more decked-out alternative to WebToEpub that comes as a plugin for Calibre. I haven't used it personally, but I've heard good things about it.
- DeDRM Tools — a DRM removal plugin for Calibre. The main version can't handle the most recent encryption that Amazon implemented for books released after March 2025, however there are other ways that you can find if you look around on the project's page.
- DragonFruit — an OCR-based DRM circumvention utility made by yours truly. Where the most sophisticated DRM-removal tools fail, this thing can succeed. There's no countering the crowbar, as they say. The code is in large part AI jank, and it has a tendency to struggle with nonstandard formatting, but it can still prove useful in a pinch.
