*Persona 3 Reload
*Persona 4 / Golden
*Persona 5 / Royal
**Persona O.A.

==Profile==
===Persona 3 Reload===
Books appear in Persona 3 Reload as a side activity where the protagonist may spend time other party members to increase a specific stat in the Iwatodai Dormitory. The characters' invitations are timed and only certain allies are available at a time, and the activity is introduced on June 16th. Reading is only possible with Junpei Iori, Mitsuru Kirijo, Fuuka Yamagishi and Aigis, and the stat increased depends on the party member that is spent time with.
With 	Stat
Junpei Iori 	Courage (♪)
Mitsuru Kirijo 	Academics (♪)
Fuuka Yamagishi	Academics (♪)
Aigis 	Charm (♪)
Reading is one of the activities that unlock party members' characteristics. It is done so by spending time doing the same activity three times.
===Persona 4 / Golden===
In Persona 4, books often give small Social Stat boosts per read. Books are separated in 4 series, each with 5 volumes of books. Each series generally revolves around increasing a specific Social Stat, although the underage series doesn't follow a common pattern, aside from increasing two stats at once. Reading all 20 books will reward the protagonist with the Reader King, which increases the wearer's Magic by 10. Only the protagonist can equip this accessory.
Persona 4 Golden adds more books in the collection: one of the series has books that boost one of each Social Stat, as well as 7 more books that don't necessarily fit in a series, but each acts to add miscellaneous effects to the protagonist's daily life, such as doubling their reading speed.

===Persona 5 / Royal===
In Persona 5, books must be completed before any benefits are gained. The protagonist can generally read books at either the counter in Café Leblanc (during the evening only, and when there are no customers) or at the Shujin Academy library (only during the day, not on holidays, and after Kamoshida's confessed as Makoto Niijima will have occupied the spot before then). Additionally, there are certain mornings when the protagonist is able to take a free seat on his morning commute on the train, allowing him to read.
When taking books from the Shujin Academy library, the protagonist may only borrow 1 book at a time.

If the protagonist Ranks up Sadayo Kawakami's Confidant, on certain days, he can earn additional time in class to perform certain activities, including reading.
Books that serve to unlock locations, if read while said spot has already been unlocked, will not take up time to be read and the book will be marked as read.
All of the books in the original Persona 5 can be completed in 54 time slots (or 27 days worth of time.)
Persona 5 Royal expands the collection with 13 new books, with several old being renamed or have had their effects changed. Only Weekend Parks has been removed from Royal. Those books can be completed in 75 time slots (37 and a half days worth of time.)

===Persona O.A.===
At the end of an infiltration, up to one book may be obtained.
Each type of book has 5 options, with each being able to boost one Social Stat. In O.A., all books grant the same kinds of options and the same rewards - the only difference between them is their contents.
Many of the books and their contents reference previous entries from the Persona series.
