Benefits of Reading

As an intellectual object, a publication is prototypically a composition of these great length that it
takes a substantial investment of time to compose and a still significant, though not so
comprehensive, investment time to browse. In the limited sense, a publication is a self-sufficient
section or part of a longer composition, a usage that reflects the simple fact that, in antiquity, long
functions needed to be written on many scrolls, and every scroll had to be identified from the
publication it contained. Therefore, for example, each component of Aristotles Physics is called a
book. From the unrestricted sense, a book is the compositional whole of which such segments,
whether known as books or chapters or components, are parts.

The academic material in a tangible publication does not need to be a makeup, nor even 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 can be left blank or may feature
an abstract set of outlines as service for continuing entries, e.g., an account book, an appointment
book, an autograph book, a notebook, a journal, or a sketchbook. Some bodily books are created
out of pages thick and sturdy enough to support other physical items, like a record or photograph
album. Books could be distributed in digital form as e-books and other formats.

Although in ordinary academic parlance a monograph is known to be a specialist academic work,
instead of a reference work on a single scholarly subject, in library and information science
monograph describes more broadly any non-serial book 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
sequential books like a magazine, journal, or newspaper. A shop where books are bought and sold
is a bookshop or bookstore. Books can also be sold everywhere. Books may also be borrowed
from libraries. Google has estimated that as of 2010, approximately 130,000,000 different titles had
been released. In some wealthier countries, the sale of printed books has diminished because of
the increased usage of e-books.

In the 2000s, due to the growth in availability of cheap handheld computing devices, the
opportunity to share texts via electronic means became an attractive option for media publishers.
Thus, the"e-book" was created. The term e-book is a contraction of"electronic book"; it pertains to
a book-length publication in electronic form. An e-book is usually made available through the
internet, but also on CD-ROM along with other forms. E-Books might be read either using a
computing device with an LED screen such as a traditional computer, a smartphone or a tablet pc;
or by means of a mobile e-ink display device called an e-book reader, like the Sony Reader,
Barnes & Noble Nook, Kobo eReader, or the Amazon Kindle. E-book readers attempt to mimic the
experience of reading a print book by using this technology, because the screens onto e-book
readers are much less reflective.
