Benefits of Reading

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

The intellectual content in a tangible publication need not be a makeup, nor be called a novel.
Books can consist just 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 contain an abstract
set of lines as support for continuing entries, e.g., an account book, an appointment book, an
autograph book, a laptop, a journal, or a sketchbook. Some physical books are created with pages
thick and sturdy enough to encourage other physical items, like a scrapbook or picture album.
Books could be distributed in electronic form as e-books and other formats.

Although in normal academic parlance that a monograph is known to be a specialist academic
work, instead of a reference work on a single scholarly topic, in library and information science
monograph describes more broadly any non-serial publication complete in one 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. An avid reader or collector
of novels is a bibliophile or colloquially,"bookworm". A store where books are bought and sold is a
bookshop or bookstore. Books can also be sold everywhere. Google has estimated that as of
2010, approximately 130,000,000 distinct titles were released. In some wealthier countries, the
selling of printed books has diminished 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 via electronic means became an attractive option for media publishers.
The term e-book is a contraction of"digital book"; it pertains to some 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 using a computing device with an LED
display like a traditional computer, a smartphone or a tablet pc; 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 try to mimic the experience of reading a print
publication by using this technology, because the screens on e-book readers are much less
reflective.
