4. if you have any save with name starting with "books", delete or rename them
5. start Morrowind, load your best save, make a new save called "books", exit game
6. you should have a new file named books0000.ess. To upgrade it, run (double click) mark_read_books.bat
your "books" save (file name books0000.ess) should now be upgraded so read skill books have a * prefix allowing to more easily recognize them
