I'll start with saying I am completely incompetent every which way you can define it
with that being said
rather than editing UI to be an overlay, could you just make overlays that do the corresponding job? like maybe reading a book opens a conversation dialogue with a nameless ghost, where your replies would be like "flip page" ect... I cringe at the thought that it would require literally re-writing every book though.

i know it has been some time and im running in here like alduiin reviving the dead, but there have been some new mods released since then, that allow you to loot like in fallout 4, with a live action overlay. I believe it uses off-site assets, but this may be the key to what OP is trying to do.
again, only performing CPR on this post because it's 100% what I have been looking for. I want live action while lockpicking to really increase the challenge.

theres a guard who is half a second from detecting you, but your game pauses for a lockpicking screen that's expert level, and you break 100 lockpicks trying to open it, yet safely make it inside undetected. all because the game pauses.

You are onto something. It's been 4 years since I posted this question, but it never occured to me that editing the UI overlays to carry the same properties as alchemy would suffice for books.

 

However, I've long since retired from Skyrim, I just don't have the free time to mod anymore.

 

I will keep it in mind in case the opportunity or inspiration comes back.
