Benefits of Reading
As an intellectual thing, a book is prototypically a composition of these great length that it requires
a substantial investment of time to compose and a still significant, though not so comprehensive,
investment of time to read. This feeling of book has a restricted and an unrestricted sense. In the
restricted sense, a book is a self explanatory section or part of a longer article, a usage that
reflects the simple fact that, in antiquity, long functions needed to be written on several scrolls, and
each scroll had to be identified from the publication it contained. So, for example, each component
of Aristotles Physics is called a book. In the unrestricted sense, a book is the compositional whole
of which such sections, whether known as chapters or books or parts, are components.
The intellectual content in a tangible publication does not need to be a composition, nor be called a
novel. Novels can consist just of drawings, engravings, or photos, or such things as crossword
puzzles or cut-out dolls. In a physical book, the pages may 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 physical books are made with
pages thick and sturdy enough to support other physical items, like a scrapbook or photograph
album. Books may be distributed in digital form as e-books and other formats.
Although in normal academic parlance a monograph is understood 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 every non-serial book complete in one volume (publication ) or
a finite number of volumes (even a publication like Prousts seven-volume In Search of Lost Time),
in contrast to sequential books like a magazine, journal, or newspaper. Books are also sold
everywhere. Books can also be borrowed from libraries. Google has estimated that as of 2010,
approximately 130,000,000 distinct titles were released. 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 affordable handheld computing devices, the
opportunity to share texts through electronic means became an attractive option for media
publishers. The term e-book is a contraction of"digital book"; it refers 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 via a computing device with an
LED screen like a traditional computer, a smartphone or a tablet pc; or by means of a portable e-
ink screen 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
book by employing this technology, because the screens onto e-book readers are much less
reflective.
