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 write and a still significant, though not so extensive, investment
of time to browse. This sense of book has a restricted and an unrestricted sense. In the restricted
sense, a publication is a self explanatory section or part of a longer article, a usage that reflects the
simple fact that, in antiquity, long functions had to be written on several scrolls, and every scroll
had to be identified from the publication it included. Therefore, for instance, each component of
Aristotles Physics is called a book. From the unrestricted sense, a publication is the compositional
whole of that these sections, whether known as books or chapters or components, are parts.

The intellectual content in a tangible book need not be a composition, nor even be called a book.
Novels can consist just 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 feature an abstract
group of lines as support 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 encourage other physical objects, like a record or photograph
album. Books could be distributed in electronic form as e-books along with 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 topic, in library and information
science monograph describes more broadly any non-serial publication complete in 1 volume
(book) 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 passionate reader
or reader of novels is a bibliophile or colloquially,"bookworm". Novels can also be sold everywhere.
Google has estimated that as of 2010, roughly 130,000,000 distinct titles had been released. In
some wealthier nations, the sale of published books has diminished 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 via digital means became an appealing option for media publishers. Thus,
the"e-book" was created. The term e-book is a contraction of"electronic book"; it pertains to some
book-length publication in digital form. An e-book is usually made accessible 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 screen such as a conventional computer, a smartphone or a tablet
pc; or by means of a mobile e-ink display device called 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 employing this technology, because the
screens on e-book readers are not as reflective.
