just want to share, i use immersive bookreading https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/4541 then i slightly change the value based on what this author recommends:
I didn't end up downloading the mod because I'm at a point where I need to worry about how many plugins I have, but I wanted to say - Thank you so much for including the .ini settings, it's a genuine lifesaver. I've been playing on a TV a bit of distance away from me, so having it so I don't need to put on my glasses just to read the text in notes and journals (a habit that I've gotten way more into after playing Morrowind) is absolutely huge. Thanks!
Didn't realize how much I loved this mod until I had to re-download and reinstall all my mods. Somehow I forgot this one and really noticed it not being there. Thanks for helping those, like me, with poor eyesight.
But there are values you can add in your Skyrim.ini to have the same effect without an .esp right ? For books for example i use fBookDistance=90.0000 . Smaller values zoom in more.
Edit : Just checked the bottm of the description and yeah it's a better way of doing it
There's a third option for these tweaks (and others as well). Make an extra ini file named "SkyrimCustom.ini" with only the header and lines you want, and place it the Documents/My Games/SSE folder with the other ini files. There's no esp required and it will leave your original ini files unaltered. This can be convenient if you ever need to delete the originals to get fresh copies (like when you make any game-breaking tweaks).
okay, this needs to be seconded, thirded, or whatever. I was about to download this where i found out another how to that didn't involve adding another .esp

Just open the .ini to tweak. Smaller numbers = greater zoom.
Vanilla settings:
Book default is 110
Note is 90
Inventory zoom (Y) is -500
It's not advisable to adjust zoom speed to any faster (lower number) than 500 because it can mess up some of the animations.
i use immersive bookreading https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/4541
then i slightly change the value based on what this author recommends:
fBookOpenTime=500.0000
fInventory3DItemZoomY=-300
fNoteDistance=75.0000
fBookDistance=80.0000
fBookXRotation=0
fBookPosHeightPercentage=0.52
this feels much better for me, leaves a bit space in upper screen for text update from mods like reading is good/the eloquent reader
I'm going to ESLIFY this and see if it takes. My load order is highly precious.

fInventory3DItemZoomScale
Default is 2.25
I increased it to 4.50 ( fInventory3DItemZoomScale=4.50 ) and item is much larger up close and can be seen much clearer, doesn't block the light.
fBookDistance=85.0000
fLetterDistance=75.0000
fNoteDistance=75.0000
Like -/+10.000 each at first.
For books for example i use fBookDistance=90.0000 . Smaller values zoom in more.

EDIT:
Just sharing. I increase these value a bit. It is perfect for me.
fBookDistance=80.0000
fNoteDistance=75.0000
Thanks for a tip! It works.
You need to add those command in Skyrim.ini([Interface] section) by yourself.
