Advantages of Reading
As an intellectual object, a publication is prototypically a makeup of such great length that it takes a
considerable investment of time to write and a still significant, though not so comprehensive,
investment of time to read. In the limited sense, a publication is a self explanatory section or part of
a longer article, a usage that reflects the fact that, in antiquity, long functions had to be written on
many scrolls, and every scroll needed to be identified from the publication it included. Therefore,
for instance, each part of Aristotles Physics is called a book. From the unrestricted sense, a
publication is the compositional whole of which these sections, whether called books or chapters or
components, are parts.
The academic material in a physical book does not need to be a composition, nor 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 may be left blank or may contain
an abstract set of outlines 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 publications are
created with pages thick and sturdy enough to encourage other physical objects, like a scrapbook
or photograph album. Books may be distributed in electronic form as e-books along with other
formats.
Although in ordinary academic parlance a monograph is known to be a specialist academic work,
rather than a reference work on a single scholarly subject, in library and information science
monograph describes more broadly any non-serial publication complete in one volume (book) or a
finite number of volumes (even a publication like Prousts seven-volume In Search of Lost Time),
compared to sequential books like a magazine, journal, or newspaper. A shop where books are
bought and sold is a bookshop or bookstore. Novels are also sold elsewhere. Books can also be
borrowed from libraries. Google has estimated that as of 2010, approximately 130,000,000
different titles were published. 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 rise in availability of cheap handheld computing devices, the chance to
share texts via digital means became an attractive alternative for media publishers. Thus, the"e-
book" was created. The term e-book is a contraction of"digital book"; it refers to a book-length
publication in electronic form. An e-book is usually made accessible 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 screen like a traditional computer, a smartphone or a tablet computer; or by means of a
portable e-ink display device called an e-book reader, like the Sony Reader, Barnes & Noble Nook,
Kobo eReader, or the Amazon Kindle. E-book readers try to mimic the experience of reading a
print book by employing this technology, because the screens onto e-book readers are much less
reflective.
