Benefits of Reading

As an intellectual thing, a publication is prototypically a composition of such great length that it
requires a substantial investment of time to compose and a still considerable, though not so
extensive, investment of time to read. In the restricted sense, a book is a self explanatory section
or part of a longer article, a use that reflects the simple fact that, in antiquity, long functions needed
to be written on many scrolls, and each scroll needed to be identified by the publication it
contained. So, for example, each component of Aristotles Physics is referred to as a book. From
the unrestricted sense, a book is the compositional whole of which these segments, whether called
books or chapters or components, are parts.

The intellectual content in a tangible book does not need to be a composition, nor be called a
novel. Novels can consist only of drawings, engravings, or photos, or such matters as crossword
puzzles or cut-out dolls. In a physical book, the pages may be left blank or may contain an abstract
set of lines as service for ongoing entrances, e.g., an account book, an appointment book, an
autograph book, a notebook, a diary, or a sketchbook. Some physical publications are made with
pages thick and sturdy enough to encourage other physical items, like a record or photograph
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,
instead of a reference work on a single scholarly topic, in library and information science
monograph denotes more broadly every 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 serial publications like a magazine, journal, or newspaper. A shop where books are
purchased and sold is a bookshop or bookstore. Novels can also be sold elsewhere. Books may
also be borrowed from libraries. Google has estimated that as of 2010, roughly 130,000,000
different titles had been published. In some wealthier nations, the selling of published books has
diminished because of the increased use of e-books.

In the 2000s, due to the rise in availability of cheap handheld computing devices, the opportunity to
share texts through electronic means became an appealing alternative for media publishers. The
expression e-book is a contraction of"electronic book"; it refers to a book-length publication in
electronic form. An e-book is generally made accessible through the world wide web, but also on
CD-ROM and other forms. E-Books may be read either using a computing device with an LED
screen like a conventional computer, a smartphone or a tablet pc; or by way of a portable e-ink
display device known as an e-book reader, like 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, since the displays on e-book readers are not as
reflective.
