Maximum Skill-Ups from Bookshelves

Are all the skillups from bookshelves capped at a maximum of 5? Or so some have a lower cap? I heard somewhere that Enchanting is capped at 3 skillups from bookshelves and I don't want to waste more time clicking on books if I can't get anymore from them.

✭✭✭✭✭There is no cap on skill-ups. There is an artificial limit to how much inspiration/XP one can get from books, due to the finite number of books on the world. But that can change as books are added.----

On my main character I stopped getting skillups from books ages ago, before I even hit veteran content (I'm vr10). The skill lines that I never touched like Alchemy, Dual Wield, Bow are all at rank 6 (started off at rank 1 plus 5 skill ups from books).
On my Enchanting alt, I have been doing bookshelf runs in multiple locations for the past couple days, and have also hit a point where I'm no longer getting skillups from bookshelves. Again, most of the skill lines that I haven't touched are at rank 6 from five bookshelf skillups. However, I have only found three Enchanting skillups and three Class skillups on bookshelves.
Also, it's not Inspiration/XP you're getting from bookshelves, it's a 100% exp level up. For example, if you're half way through rank 20 in a skill line and read a skill bookshelf, you'll be halfway through rank 21.

People have already verified that books grant XP/inspiration, not a full level. And by VR, you've probably read most of the non-lore books in the world. Which is why you generally stop seeing skill-ups from books before you hit VR1.----

Nazon_Katts✭✭✭✭✭I think there's a difference in the amount of titles available per skill that grant a skill up. At least I've got some weapon skills at 10 and never touched them. Untouched skills show 0 xp, so I doubt that it is any different with crafting, but can't tell for sure since I've been following all professions."You've probably figured that out by now. Let's hope so. Or we're in real trouble... and out come the intestines. And I skip rope with them!"0 -
jesterstear✭✭✭For me, it seems that each zone has a certain number of skill-granting book titles in it. As an obsessive bookwormer, when I first entered the fourth PVE zone of the Aldmeri Dominion faction, I was getting skill boosts on about one in three bookshelves. Made a killing, but I now must have gone through 30 or 40 books without a single ding, as I encounter new buildings and ruins i'm just seeing repeat copies of books I already read.
On earlier zones, I was less diligent seeking out bookshelves, and continued to get occasional dings till I finished questing there.0
