Advantages 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 compose and a still significant, though not so comprehensive,
investment of time to browse. This feeling of publication has a restricted and an unrestricted sense.
In the limited sense, a book is a self-sufficient section or portion of a longer article, a usage that
reflects the simple fact that, in antiquity, long works had to be written on several scrolls, and every
scroll had to be identified by the publication it included. So, for example, each part of Aristotles
Physics is called a book. From the unrestricted sense, a book is the compositional whole of which
these segments, whether known as chapters or books or parts, are parts.

The academic material in a tangible book does not need to be a composition, 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 may be left blank or may feature
an abstract set of lines as service for continuing entries, e.g., an account book, an appointment
book, an autograph book, a notebook, a diary, or a sketchbook. Some bodily publications are
created with pages thick and sturdy enough to encourage other physical items, like a record or
photograph album. Books may be distributed in digital form as e-books along with other formats.

Although in ordinary academic parlance a monograph is understood to be a specialist academic
work, rather than a reference work on a single scholarly topic, in library and information science
monograph describes more broadly any non-serial book complete in one volume (book) or a finite
number of volumes (a publication like Prousts seven-volume In Search of Lost Time), compared to
serial publications like a magazine, journal, or newspaper. An avid reader or collector of novels is a
bibliophile or colloquially,"bookworm". A shop where books are purchased and sold is a bookshop
or bookstore. Novels can also be sold elsewhere. Google has estimated that as of 2010,
approximately 130,000,000 different titles were released. In some wealthier nations, the selling of
published 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 digital means became an attractive alternative for media
publishers. The term e-book is a contraction of"electronic book"; it pertains to some book-length
publication in digital 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 display like a conventional computer, a smartphone or a tablet computer; or by means of a
mobile e-ink display device known as an e-book reader, such as 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 using this technology, since the displays on e-book readers are not as
reflective.
