Advantages of Reading

As an intellectual thing, a book is prototypically a composition of these great length that it requires
a considerable investment of time to write and a still considerable, though not so comprehensive,
investment of time to read. In the limited sense, a book is a self explanatory section or part of a
longer composition, a use that reflects the fact that, in antiquity, long works had to be written on
many scrolls, and each scroll needed to be identified by the publication it contained. Therefore, for
instance, each part of Aristotles Physics is called a book. From the unrestricted sense, a book is
your compositional whole of which such segments, whether called books or chapters or parts, are
components.

The academic material in a physical book need not be a composition, nor be called a novel. Novels
can consist only of drawings, engravings, or photos, 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 set of outlines
as service for ongoing entries, e.g., an account book, an appointment book, an autograph book, a
laptop, a diary, or a sketchbook. Some physical publications are made with pages thick and sturdy
enough to encourage other physical objects, like a record or picture 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 topic, in library and information science
monograph describes more broadly every non-serial publication complete in one 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. Books can also be sold
everywhere. Books may also be borrowed from libraries. Google has estimated that as of 2010,
approximately 130,000,000 different titles had been published. In some wealthier countries, 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 chance
to share texts via electronic means became an appealing alternative for media publishers. The
expression e-book is a contraction of"electronic book"; it refers to some book-length book in
electronic 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
display such as 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, 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 book by using this technology, because the displays on e-book readers are much
less reflective.
