Benefits of Reading
As an intellectual thing, a publication is prototypically a composition of these great length that it
requires a considerable investment of time to compose and a still considerable, though not so
comprehensive, investment time to browse. This sense of publication has a restricted and an
unrestricted sense. In the restricted sense, a book is a self explanatory section or part of a longer
composition, a usage that reflects the fact that, in antiquity, long functions had to be written on
many scrolls, and every scroll had to be identified by the publication it included. So, for instance,
each part of Aristotles Physics is called a book. In the unrestricted sense, a publication is the
compositional whole of that such sections, whether known as books or chapters or components,
are components.
The academic material in a tangible publication does not need to be a composition, nor be called a
book. Novels can consist only of drawings, engravings, or photographs, or such matters as
crossword puzzles or cut-out dolls. At a physical book, the pages may be left blank or may feature
an abstract set of lines as service for continuing entries, e.g., an account book, an appointment
book, an autograph book, a notebook, a journal, or a sketchbook. Some physical books are
created with pages thick and sturdy enough to encourage other physical objects, like a record or
picture album. Books could be distributed in electronic form as e-books along with other formats.
Although in normal academic parlance a monograph is known to be a professional academic work,
instead of a reference work on a single scholarly subject, in library and information science
monograph denotes more broadly every non-serial publication complete in 1 volume (book) or a
finite number of volumes (even a novel like Prousts seven-volume In Search of Lost Time),
compared to serial publications like a magazine, journal, or newspaper. Books are also sold
elsewhere. Books may also be borrowed from libraries. Google has estimated that as of 2010,
roughly 130,000,000 different titles had been released. In some wealthier countries, the sale of
published books has decreased because of the increased use of e-books.
In the 2000s, due to the growth in availability of affordable handheld computing devices, the
chance to share texts via electronic means became an attractive option for media publishers.
Hence, the"e-book" was created. The expression e-book is a contraction of"electronic book"; it
pertains to some book-length publication in digital form. An e-book is usually made accessible
through the world wide web, but also on CD-ROM along with other forms. E-Books may be read
either using a computing device with an LED display such as a conventional computer, a
smartphone or a tablet computer; or by means of a portable e-ink display device called an e-book
reader, like the Sony Reader, Barnes & Noble Nook, Kobo eReader, or even the Amazon Kindle.
E-book readers try to mimic the experience of reading a print publication by using this technology,
since the displays on e-book readers are not as reflective.
