Benefits of Reading

As an intellectual object, a book is prototypically a composition of these great length that it takes a
considerable investment of time to compose and a still considerable, though not so
comprehensive, investment of time to browse. This feeling of publication has a restricted and an
unrestricted sense. In the restricted sense, a book is a self-sufficient section or part of a longer
composition, a usage that reflects the simple fact that, in antiquity, long works had to be written on
several scrolls, and each scroll needed to be identified by the book it contained. So, for instance,
each part of Aristotles Physics is referred to as a book. In the unrestricted sense, a publication is
the compositional whole of that these sections, whether known as chapters or books or
components, are parts.

The intellectual content in a tangible book does not need to be a composition, nor even be called a
novel. Books can consist only 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 can feature
an abstract group of lines as support for continuing entries, e.g., an account book, an appointment
book, an autograph book, a notebook, a journal, or a sketchbook. Some physical publications are
created with pages thick and sturdy enough to support other physical objects, like a record or
picture album. Books may be distributed in digital form as e-books along with other formats.

Although in ordinary academic parlance a monograph is understood to be a professional 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 (publication )
or a finite number of volumes (even a publication like Prousts seven-volume In Search of Lost
Time), in contrast to serial publications like a magazine, journal, or newspaper. An avid reader or
reader of books is a bibliophile or colloquially,"bookworm". A shop where books are purchased and
sold is a bookshop or bookstore. Books can also be sold everywhere. Google has estimated that
as of 2010, roughly 130,000,000 different titles were released. In some wealthier countries, the
selling of published books has decreased due to the increased use of e-books.

In the 2000s, as a result of growth in availability of cheap handheld computing devices, the chance
to share texts via electronic means became an appealing alternative for media publishers. Hence,
the"e-book" was created. The term e-book is a contraction of"electronic book"; it refers to some
book-length publication in digital form. An e-book is generally made accessible through the world
wide web, but also on CD-ROM along with other forms. E-Books may be read either via a
computing device with an LED screen like a conventional computer, a smartphone or a tablet
computer; or by way of a portable e-ink screen device known as 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 publication by using this technology, because
the screens onto e-book readers are not as reflective.
