Question

I have the PS3 Edition, does this still work in 2016?

Community Answer

It has been patched so it's not infinite, but if you spam the bookshelf, you can get it up to 6 or 7 times.

Question

Do I exit the bookshelf and then reactivate it?

Community Answer

No. You read the book while it's in the bookshelf -- not on it -- then, store the book, grab it from the shelf. Then, once it's back in your inventory, read it and repeat all those steps. This glitch will only be infinite on the Xbox 360 edition.

Question

Can I still do this glitch if I have already read the Oghma Infinium?

Community Answer

No. After reading the Oghma Infinium regularly, this glitch will be useless. You have to activate the glitch before reading it normally. You can leave it unread even after leveling yourself up to max.

Question

What if I only got the one book after trying this glitch?

Community Answer

You can reload the quicksave and retry, or it may be due to your version of Skyrim, in which case it may be patched.

Question

What level must I be to use the glitch?

Community Answer

You must be a least level 15 to use the glitch. After returning to Septimus at level 15 (or higher), you have to kill the five races and you will receive the book in which you can glitch.

Does the glitch work if things are done out of order?

No it does not. As it has been explained above in the article, you need an Xbox 360 or older device.
