Benefits of Reading
As an intellectual object, a publication is prototypically a composition of these great length that it
takes a considerable investment of time to write and a still considerable, though not so
comprehensive, investment of time to read. In the restricted sense, a publication is a self-sufficient
section or portion of a longer article, a use that reflects the fact that, in antiquity, long works had to
be written on several scrolls, and each scroll had to be identified from the publication it included.
So, for example, each component of Aristotles Physics is referred to as a book. In the unrestricted
sense, a publication is your compositional whole of which these sections, whether called chapters
or books or components, are parts.
The intellectual content in a tangible book need not be a makeup, nor be called a book. Books can
consist just of drawings, engravings, or photographs, or such matters as crossword puzzles or cut-
out dolls. In a physical book, the pages may be left blank or may contain an abstract set of outlines
as service for continuing entries, e.g., an account book, an appointment book, an autograph book,
a notebook, a diary, or a sketchbook. Some physical publications are created with pages thick and
sturdy enough to support other physical objects, like a record or photograph album. Books could
be distributed in digital form as e-books and other formats.
Although in ordinary academic parlance that a monograph is known to be a specialist academic
work, rather than a reference work on a single scholarly subject, in library and information science
monograph denotes more broadly any non-serial book complete in 1 volume (publication ) or a
finite number of volumes (a publication like Prousts seven-volume In Search of Lost Time),
compared to serial publications like a magazine, journal, or newspaper. Books can also be sold
elsewhere. Books may also be borrowed from libraries. Google has estimated that as of 2010,
roughly 130,000,000 distinct titles had been published. In some wealthier countries, the sale of
printed books has decreased due to the increased usage of e-books.
In the 2000s, due to the rise in availability of cheap handheld computing devices, the chance to
share texts via electronic means became an attractive alternative for media publishers. Thus,
the"e-book" was made. The term e-book is a contraction of"digital book"; it pertains to a book-
length book in electronic form. An e-book is generally made available through the world wide web,
but also on CD-ROM along with other forms. E-Books might be read either via a computing device
with an LED display like a conventional computer, a smartphone or a tablet pc; or by way of a
portable e-ink display device known as an e-book reader, such as the Sony Reader, Barnes &
Noble Nook, Kobo eReader, or the Amazon Kindle. E-book readers try to mimic the experience of
reading a print book by using this technology, since the screens on e-book readers are much less
reflective.
