Benefits of Reading

As an intellectual object, a book is prototypically a composition of such great length that it takes a
substantial investment of time to write and a still considerable, though not so comprehensive,
investment time to browse. In the restricted sense, a publication is a self-sufficient section or part
of a longer article, a use that reflects the fact that, in antiquity, long works needed to be written on
several scrolls, and every scroll needed to be identified by the publication it contained. Therefore,
for instance, each component of Aristotles Physics is called 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 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. In a physical book, the pages can be left blank or can contain
an abstract group of outlines as service for ongoing entries, e.g., an account book, an appointment
book, an autograph book, a notebook, a journal, or a sketchbook. Some bodily publications are
made out of pages thick and sturdy enough to support other physical items, like a scrapbook or
picture 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,
rather than a reference work on a single scholarly subject, in library and information science
monograph describes more broadly any non-serial publication complete in 1 volume (publication )
or a finite number of volumes (a publication like Prousts seven-volume In Search of Lost Time),
compared to sequential books like a magazine, journal, or newspaper. Novels are also sold
elsewhere. Google has estimated that as of 2010, roughly 130,000,000 distinct titles were
published. In some wealthier nations, the sale of printed books has decreased because of the
increased use of e-books.

In the 2000s, as a result of growth in availability of affordable handheld computing devices, the
chance to share texts through electronic means became an appealing option for media publishers.
The expression e-book is a contraction of"electronic book"; it refers to a book-length publication 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 via a computing device with an LED
display such as a conventional computer, a smartphone or a tablet computer; or by way of a
portable 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 employing this technology, because the displays onto e-book readers are much
less reflective.
