Dovahkiin Gutenberg
Skyrim is big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mind- bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it’s a long way down the road to the chemist’s, but that’s just peanuts to Skyrim. And that amazing sprawling landscape isn’t just boring, empty space. It’s full of of interesting people, vast structures, and a cornucopia of stuff to make the world come alive.
Lately, one of my favorite parts of Skyrim are the in-game books. At any time, you can pull a book off the shelf, and get a nice fresh slice of lore to go along with your hearty adventures. I’ve even gone so far as to break into houses in the middle of the night just to read their books. After getting chided from the local guards, and shamefully ponying up bounty, I thought to myself, there has to be a better way. Could I possibly take these fine narratives on the road with me, to read while I can’t be in front of the computer actually playing the game?
So, I took a look at how Skyrim actually stores these nuggets of incidental storytelling. By the 9, it was in plain text! I pasted the book text into separate docs, slapped on headings, created a table of contents and a cover, and just like that, I can read my copy of The Lusty Argonian Maid on-the-go! If you’d like to read this fine fiction on your own device, just download one of these files and throw it on your e-reader:
P.S. Technically you should own a copy of Skyrim to read these books. But if you’re nutty enough about Skyrim to care about the in-game books, chances are you have a copy on the shelf. Enjoy!
Update 1: A kind reader has been kind enough to do the same thing in Spanish. Click here for my post about it!
Update 2: By popular demand, I’ve added images and cleaned up a few details. Click here for my post about it!
I really wanted to read the books on my Kindle. Thank you for making it happen!

Would love to know how to manage to extract it to do it myself…using spanish version of the game
Awesome! Scanned through a few already, look great.
I have a andriod tablet with the nook app but when i click the link it just opens up new webpage with nothing on it anyone have suggestion on how to get it to my nook app to read it?
Ruben, all the books are in plain text in a monolithic string file under //apps/skyrim/Data/Strings.
There should be one there for Spanish.
Josh, try downloading the file to your computer and just copying it over via USB sync. Not sure what kind of file handlers are installed on your tablet for .mobi. Or you can install the kindle app and try the .mobi version.
Any clue about how manage an DLstring or ILstring (it’s what i have in that folder)? Or could send you my files (about 3 Mb each) so you upload an spanish version?
All the books are in the DL string file. It took me about 8 hours or so to pull out all the books, clean up the formatting, create headings, and add the necessary meta-data for the ebook format. So, It’s not trivial enough for me to do in Spanish, but I can help out if you want to understake a Spanish version. Start by copying and pasting the text of each book into a seperate .html file. Keep the filenames consistent with the title of the book, and add a number at the end of each book in a series. This will make table of contents building way easier.
Oh, didn’t thought was such a big task, I’m not even able to “open” the Dlstring archive, and my googling about it leads to programming and coding sites which are far beyond my poor knowledge in this matters. Thanks anyway forthe tips Capaneus, if i find time will give it a deeper look.
Try opening it in Notepad++. You will have to manually open it since there are no file associations for it.
Works on iPad
Tap the link to the epub and “Open in iBooks”.
Mighty Talos, even on the smallest font setting, there are 1665 pages!
The icing on the cake would be to find a way to include the images present in the game. There are the illustrated letters (I’m sure there is a name for that…) but I also remember at least one book had an illustration that was not a letter. Just the illustrated letters would add a nice touch. Probably a real bugger to format in ebook though?
Yeah, I’m not quite sure how to extract the images yet, but when the Construction Kit comes out this will be possible. A couple of books have images aside from the illustrated letters, and for the illustrated letters, i just macro replaced all instances of the images with their corresponding actual letters. If people are interested, I may release another version with images after the creation kit comes out.
Thanks a lot, man! Now I don’t have to hunt the books and keep worrying that I missed any.
Btw, has anything similar been done with Oblivion and Morrowind?
PLEASE do this for oblivion books. PLEASE !
Yea trying to download info my Android phone but it will not work, it says its corrupted when I try to read it.
I suggest you to add a facebook like button!
This absolutely fantastic. ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC.
Holy crap. This is pure win. Thanks man!

Thanks for this.
But if you’re a fan of open-worlds, books in game, and lore, you should try Morrowind. Much better in terms of those qualities, whatever other flaws it may have.
Wheres the books from Oblivion?

Thanks for the hard work, this is amazing. Loaded up the whole collection in iBooks, sweet!
BTW, I think some are missing – some special, quest-related books (like “Ruminations on the Elder Scrolls”, http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:Ruminations_on_the_Elder_Scrolls)

Wow guys thanks so much!
Any chance of getting these in a regular word document? I’ve always wanted to have Skyrim’s literature separate from the game just so I can read it anywhere. Sadly, I don’t have a Kindle or Nook.
Thank you! I was hoping someone would create this exact thing.

You absolute legend. I love these stories, most of them are the same ones I’ve read in bits before since Morrowind, but dont ever feel inclined to sacrifice precious game time to read over them again. Now I can read them when I’m on the go. Thanks for going to the effort!
You can read the kindle version on the desktop using the Kindle for Windows app.
If you need some other specific format, there’s a program called calibre that can covert to and from most ebook formats.

I don’t know what the heck is going on. I run Linux and I use Calibre to manage my eBooks. I have a Sony PRS-300. When I try and copy this to my PRS-300 (epub format) it hangs there, and after a minute or so, completely crashes my system hard – black screen, lots of scrolling text… Never seen anything like it. Everything is fine if I copy other books to the device, but not this one! I don’t get it. I don’t know what to do… I was wanting this exact thing since I first tried to read the books in the game.
This is pure geniusness! I am very jealous of you PC players of Skyrim. I have it for the Xbox (which is phenomenal!) but sometimes i wish my laptop could play it without burning up. I could just whip out my laptop on the go and bust out some quests (or pillage a random house for tomatoes or “Fus Ro Dah” a Giant and run like hell). And to conclude I would love to thank you for this wonderful gift you have given us fellow Skyrimers

Thank you so much for this! I love reading the books in-game and was working on collecting them all so that I could read them, but it’s so much nicer to have them on my kindle to read them when I’m not at home.

Thanks for putting so much time into this! Great for staving off the seperation anxiety when I’m forced to be away from my computer.
Android tip: I got this to work by long pressing the epub link, selecting “save link” and then going in with astro file manager to rename the file (located in /sdcard/download) “the-books-of-skyrim.epub” instead of “.txt”. Then just point your ereader to it and kabloomers, destruction!

[...] Travis Brown, a Software Developer and blogger has discovered that it is quite simple to take literature out of Skyrim, and partake of the many tales and stories anywhere you go. Lately, one of my favorite parts of Skyrim are the in-game books. At any time, you can pull a book off the shelf, and get a nice fresh slice of lore to go along with your hearty adventures. I’ve even gone so far as to break into houses in the middle of the night just to read their books. After getting chided from the local guards, and shamefully ponying up bounty, I thought to myself, there has to be a better way. Could I possibly take these fine narratives on the road with me, to read while I can’t be in front of the computer actually playing the game? [...]
For some reason the Akatosh – Alduin Dichotomy ended up inside the 2920 – Last Year of the First Era series. Not that it’s a big deal, but I figured I’d point it out.
Otherwise, reading this on Cool Reader for Android (tablet) is just fantastic. I thank you plenty for taking the time to put this together so I can take a piece of the lore away with me.
If you can see my email address, I’d love to hear about the possibility of an Oblivion and Morrowind supplement (just for books not appearing in Skyrim). What a fantastic way that would be to take all of the modern TES lore on the go.

Wondering if a few of the books missing from Skyrim, but present in previous Elder Scrolls games, could be included. The only one I know of, because I wanted to read it, and couldn’t find it, is “The Poison Song” from Morrowind. It’s actually one of the better, longer novels from the game.

Thanks, you’re a legend! First, I was having dilemmas choosing which items to drop so I could collect all the books I found in my travels to read later.

Very happy now that I can read them offline – especially when my daughter has commandeered the PS3.
