Advantages of Reading

As an intellectual object, a publication is prototypically a composition of such great length that it
requires a substantial investment of time to write and a still significant, though not so
comprehensive, investment of time to browse. In the limited sense, a book is a self-sufficient
section or portion of a longer article, a use that reflects the simple fact that, in antiquity, long
functions had to be written on many scrolls, and each scroll needed to be identified by the
publication it included. So, for instance, each part of Aristotles Physics is called a book. In the
unrestricted sense, a publication is the compositional whole of which such sections, whether called
books or chapters or parts, are parts.

The academic material in a tangible book does not need to be a composition, nor even be called a
novel. Books can consist just of drawings, engravings, or photographs, or such things as
crossword puzzles or cut-out dolls. In a physical book, the pages can be left blank or can feature
an abstract set of lines as service for continuing entries, e.g., an account book, an appointment
book, an autograph book, a laptop, a journal, or a sketchbook. Some bodily books are created out
of pages thick and sturdy enough to support other physical items, like a scrapbook 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 understood to be a professional
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 one volume
(publication ) 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. An avid reader
or reader of books is a bibliophile or colloquially,"bookworm". A store where books are purchased
and sold is a bookshop or bookstore. Novels can also be sold everywhere. Books may also be
borrowed from libraries. Google has estimated that as of 2010, roughly 130,000,000 distinct titles
were published. In some wealthier nations, the selling of printed books has decreased because of
the increased use of e-books.

In the 2000s, as a result of growth in availability of cheap handheld computing devices, the
opportunity to share texts through electronic means became an attractive alternative for media
publishers. The term e-book is a contraction of"digital book"; it refers to some book-length book in
electronic form. An e-book is usually made available through the internet, but also on CD-ROM
along with other forms. E-Books may be read either via a computing device with an LED display
like a traditional computer, a smartphone or a tablet computer; or by way of a mobile e-ink screen
device called an e-book reader, like the Sony Reader, Barnes & Noble Nook, Kobo eReader, or
even the Amazon Kindle. E-book readers try to mimic the experience of reading a print publication
by employing this technology, because the displays on e-book readers are not as reflective.
