Is there a place I can download the game books? : The Elder Scrolls Series Discussion

Provided that they are legal to download. I know I can read them on the imperial library but I prefer not to read off a computer screen since my eye sight is already bad.

Thanks

I....am a little confused. You want to download and read the TES books, but not from a computer...

just copy the text into a text editor and print it out? afaik, ebook readers require special formats, and unless there is some converter available you can't get the TES books in those formats. does kindle handle pdf's? if yes, they are fairly easy to make.

P.S. proper computer usage does not worsen eyesight.

we'll there's a lot. I'm mainly just looking for Morrowinds books but I was hoping I could find a file that has all of them compiled together.

And why read on a computer screen when I can do it on my kindle

the construction set allows you to export a .txt file of all the ingame books. i don't think its the neatest, most readable format though.

And I didnt see your response earlier about the Kindle but yeah it can read Txt files and I can format them if need be

File>Export Data>Books.

it looks like the file includes all the HTML book formating, which makes it rather hard to read. my advice would be to re-save (change the extension) to .html, which should make it look about right. there will still be some errors, but its better.

yeah thanks I did that on my second try since the text version was really scrambled.It'll be nice to have these books as a reference but I find anything that's more nicely formated Ill post it here

I don't know what this kindle is, other than sticks or other material used to start fires, so there's my confusion right there.

http://www.imperial-library.info/zeph/ is a PDF that contains all the in-game books from The Elder Scrolls III, located at The Imperial Library. Also, why is this in the lore section of the forums?
