Is eidetic memory where you read a book and then advance one of your skills by one point?
I am asking because of the addon Lorebooks, is in the process of showing the locations of Eidetic Memory books. I am not showing them.

CROWN CRATES: It doesn't affect gameplay, it's not mandatory, it's cosmetic only. If it helps to support the game and ZOS, I support it! Say YES to crown crates.

    No. Eidetic memory is a page in the journal section (lore) where you may go back and read any written material you found in the game. Pre-Eidetic memory you get a popup message "You have found a Lorebook" only for Lorebooks shown in the Lorebooks addon. These go toward increasing your Mages Guild rank. Post-Eidetic memory you get this message for everything you read, but only true "Lorebooks" count toward you Mages guild rank. Though, by the time you get Eidetic memory, you should basically be maxed out in the Mages guild line anyway.

    The Eidetic Memory is split into different categories. There is one category called "Skill Books", which is a collection of all the books in the game that advances your skills by one point. I believe there are 83 of these books in the category and also 9 odd books from other categories that advance your skills. But don't get confused, because there are many other categories which document all the books/notes in the game, so only the ones I mentioned before advance your skill-lines.

    Those books that advance you by a skill point are randomly found in bookshelves along with other regular books.

    What you think of is Shalidor,s library. Eidetic memory is a bugged list of all non-lorebooks that Zos need to fix :)

    I use the Librarian addon. That way you don't need to wait to get Eidetic Memory.
