How can I read a Blackbook?

Post » Sun Feb 03, 2013 7:59 pm

I have recovered one Blackbook so far. Of course, when I try to read it, it transports me to and from Apocropha (sp?). That's all very nice. But I would actually like to READ it! (I have been reading all these new books I have been running across.) Is there some way that I can actually read the text without having my reading session interrupted?

As far as I know, you have...Three seconds to read, and only one page.

That is on my to-do list as well. But by the time I get all the books and keep rereading them enough to catch one line at a time to see all the words on a page, it'll be out for PC and they'll have taken screenshots...

I believe the books are only portals. Shame that they cannot be read.

Whether or not they have multiple pages, we don't know. But if they're treated as books with scripts upon activation, then PC players will be able to extract the text easily with the CK.

If they do, will you get copies and post them?? I would just love to read what they say.

They're here! I'm betting at least one Easter Egg per page, but I'll leave that to the diviners.

Except that I can't help pointing out a similarity of meter:
