Benefits of Reading

As an intellectual thing, a publication is prototypically a makeup of these great length that it
requires a substantial investment of time to write and a still considerable, though not so
comprehensive, investment of time to read. This sense of book has a restricted and an unrestricted
sense. In the restricted 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 works needed to be written on many scrolls, and
every scroll needed to be identified from the book it included. Therefore, for example, each part of
Aristotles Physics is referred to as a book. From the unrestricted sense, a book is the
compositional whole of which such segments, whether called chapters or books or components,
are components.

The academic material in a tangible publication need not be a makeup, nor even be called a novel.
Novels can consist only of drawings, engravings, or photographs, or such things as crossword
puzzles or cut-out dolls. At a physical book, the pages can be left blank or can contain an abstract
set of lines as support for ongoing entries, e.g., an account book, an appointment book, an
autograph book, a notebook, a diary, or a sketchbook. Some bodily 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 ordinary academic parlance that a monograph is understood to be a specialist
academic work, instead of a reference work on a single scholarly subject, in library and information
science monograph denotes more broadly every non-serial publication complete in 1 volume
(book) or a finite number of volumes (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 books is a bibliophile or colloquially,"bookworm". A shop where books are bought and
sold is a bookshop or bookstore. Books can also be sold everywhere. Books may also be
borrowed from libraries. Google has estimated that as of 2010, roughly 130,000,000 different titles
were published. In some wealthier countries, the sale of published books has diminished because
of the increased use of e-books.

In the 2000s, due to the growth in availability of cheap handheld computing devices, the chance to
share texts through digital means became an attractive option for media publishers. The term e-
book is a contraction of"digital book"; it refers to a book-length book in electronic form. An e-book
is generally made available through the world wide web, but also on CD-ROM and other forms. E-
Books might be read either via a computing device with an LED display such as a traditional
computer, a smartphone or a tablet pc; or by way of a mobile e-ink display 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 using this technology,
since the screens onto e-book readers are much less reflective.
