Benefits of Reading

As an intellectual object, a book is prototypically a composition of these great length that it requires
a considerable investment of time to write and a still significant, though not so comprehensive,
investment of time to read. This feeling of publication has a restricted and an unrestricted sense. In
the restricted sense, a publication is a self-sufficient section or portion of a longer composition, a
use that reflects the simple fact that, in antiquity, long works had to be written on many scrolls, and
every scroll needed to be identified from the publication it included. So, for instance, each part of
Aristotles Physics is called a book. From the unrestricted sense, a publication is the compositional
whole of which such segments, whether known as chapters or books or parts, are parts.

The academic material in a tangible book need not be a composition, nor be called a novel. Books
can consist only of drawings, engravings, or photographs, or such matters as crossword puzzles or
cut-out dolls. At a physical book, the pages can be left blank or may feature an abstract set of lines
as service for ongoing entries, e.g., an account book, an appointment book, an autograph book, a
notebook, a journal, or a sketchbook. Some physical publications are created out of pages thick
and sturdy enough to encourage other physical items, like a record or picture album. Books could
be distributed in digital form as e-books and other formats.

Although in normal academic parlance a monograph is known to be a specialist academic work,
rather than a reference work on a single scholarly topic, 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 publication like Prousts seven-volume In Search of Lost Time), in
contrast to sequential books like a magazine, journal, or newspaper. An avid reader or collector of
books is a bibliophile or colloquially,"bookworm". Books are also sold everywhere. Books may also
be borrowed from libraries. Google has estimated that as of 2010, approximately 130,000,000
distinct titles were released. In some wealthier countries, the sale of printed books has diminished
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 through electronic means became an attractive alternative 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 book in digital 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 using a
computing device with an LED screen such as a conventional computer, a smartphone or a tablet
pc; or by way of a portable e-ink display device called an e-book reader, such as the Sony Reader,
Barnes & Noble Nook, Kobo eReader, or even the Amazon Kindle. E-book readers attempt to
mimic the experience of reading a print book by using this technology, since the screens onto e-
book readers are much less reflective.
