The eighth book of Spice and Wolf (Ookami to Koushinryou) by Isuna Hasekura in EPUB format.
Thanks to new OCR software, this time it’s a lot easier for me to do the conversion. The entire process still took more than an hour, but it’s quite more enjoyable. Naturally I still have to do some manual editing to fix what the OCR had missed. I already have the scanned PDF for volume 9, but I haven’t got one for volume 10. So if you have the PDF, please send me a download link so I can convert it into EPUB version too.
Lastly, in 2016 I decided to make MOBI format available for Kindle users.
Fair warning : please respect the writer’s work. If you like this light novel and it is available to purchase legally in your country, please buy a legal copy of the book.

My usual text from all posts of Spice and Wolf:
As I explained when I first started this conversion project, I decided to do my own version of Spice and Wolf in EPUB format. The process of converting PDF to EPUB is not as simple as clicking a button. Yes there are all-purpose converters like Calibre. The PDF that I got is actually image files attached together as PDF. When Calibre “converts” the PDF to EPUB, it does not detect the text inside the pages’ image files and treated the file like a comic book. The conversion result is not something nice to read in any mobile reader. So, there is only once option left: to do manual work, hours of work just for one book. But the result is good and worth it.
Why in EPUB format? I prefer EPUB format for my e-books because it’s more comfortable to read in smartphones, e-readers and tablets. EPUB is widely supported by various brands. You can open EPUB books in Nook reader, Kobo reader, Sony Reader, iPhone, iPod, iPad, Android smartphone or Android tablet. It will automatically adjust to whatever screen size you have. Plus giving us the ability to change the font size, to get the best reading experience.
By “manual work”, I never mean that I have to re-type the entire thing. No, that’s not what I did. It would take forever and I won’t have time (or patience) to do that. What I did is using a software to convert the entire text from the image files, have it extracted as plain text, then start doing “manual” editing to remove page numbers, hyphenation issues (thousands of them), quotes, and some conversion and formatting errors. I’m a perfectionist when it comes to books I like, so I want the best possible EPUB file created.
Since I was doing manual editing, I need to check the words and sentences manually. So please let me know if I missed something. Thank you.
I know this was posted years ago, but the link no longer works. If you could reupload it I would really appreciate it 🙂
When I download the epub off of the media fire and put it in a reader it doesn’t want to read.. and the files are much smaller then what the other novels are. Can anyone help me :/
Just try to re-download. Probably the downloaded file is corrupted.
Hi, thank you so much for this epub versions, I can’t buy this books in country but now I will be able to read it on my Kindle.
Also I found Volume 10 in pdf: http://bakabt.me/166057-ookami-to-koushinryou-spice-and-wolf-light-novel-pdf.html
It’s a darn shame Yen Press doesn’t publish these on the kindle. The only reason I’m not importing the books, is that I’m too used to using a reader now and don’t like physical copies…
Thank you for these epubs!
Unfortunatly, Spice and Wolf is not avalible for purchase in my country. But I’ll buy the english release as soon as I’m able to ^^
Thanks and thanks again 😀
thanks! will send you a link if ever I found a link of the volume 10 🙂
I have been looking for this since the anime was released. Possibly one of my favorite anime of all time, it has now become my favorite book series thanks to you. Really hope you continue to release these, because I’m hooked, and really enjoy this series. Thanks for all of the hard work!
